Printed vs. Digital Activity Guides
Unsure which format is right for you? Our physical activity guides come in a durable 3-ring binder with a full-color cover and spine entrapped in plastic. The material within is printed on standard 8 ½” x 11” pages, which are 3-hole-punched and can be removed for duplicating handouts and forms or facilitator preparation and returned in place. Our digital flipbook activity guides are formatted for screen viewing and take advantage of this medium by employing a lot of color and interactive elements, such as embedded videos, web links, and navigation options for quickly jumping to different areas of the guide. Deciding which is right for you depends on which of these experiences you would find most comfortable as a facilitator.
Printing from the downloadable PDF file of the digital flipbook: You may find it useful to print small portions of the digital activity guide to prepare for your circle session. Please be aware that the digital files are formatted for 2-page viewing on a device, and therefore printing larger sections may require a huge number of pages and abundant ink. Additionally, you will note large blank spaces in the PDF where an embedded video appears when viewed as a digital flipbook. Note: Within the digital guide are links to print-ready documents that include handouts and participant forms.
