One of the best I've ever seen was actually in my daughter's nursery class.<BR/><BR/>Imagine the picture - you're a nursery teacher with a morning and afternoon class of 20 3-4 year olds. In their two and a half hours with you, they can make a LOT of mess! So you need to get them trained to put things away, otherwise you're going to spend all of your time tidying up and trying to find things.<BR/><BR/>So they use shadow boards, and get the kids to tidy up at the end of each class. Even though the children can't read yet, it works a treat - the big black shadow of a missing item is a clear visual cue to find the item and it where it belongs.<BR/><BR/>I'll post a couple of pictures on my Team Leaders Resource Library blog.<BR/><BR/>Now if you can get children who can't yet tie their shoes to use a shadow board to save time, imagine the benefits in a 'real' workplace!Karl On Sea (twitter: @karlonsea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07906750569320971196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711894.post-1150118539310767662006-06-12T09:22:00.000-04:002006-06-12T09:22:00.000-04:00Faith and Dianna added some lean thinking to our r...Faith and Dianna added some lean thinking to our resource room - it houses printers, copiers, etc. To keep the stapler, hole punch, etc. on the work table, they found black/white clip art, enlarged it to the real-life size, and taped it to the table "shadow board" style. Not so perfect as to fall into the trap Mike noticed, but visual enough to send the message.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463767332463542390noreply@blogger.com
