She still engages students in her mannerisms and tone even though she is in a different space for each class. She also moves the class to a location that benefits the learning objective of the day rather than try to force it into a physical space that doesn't fit well.
She has basic teaching supplies, folders with resources and handouts, drinks, technology, and areas for problems of practice.
She has scanned all her files so they are accessible via computer in any location without having to bring bulk files with her daily.

This amazing method of organzation. I use couple of these strategies and incorporate them to my methods of organization. Not for the purpose of transporting my material, but for its minimalistic approach.

Going into to the special education field there will be times that I may have to have a cart and bounce from classroom to classroom. Having a cart such as Ms. Wessling does will be a great tool for students as well as my students. It is also a great idea to scan all documents or files that I need to use to my computer instead of having to try and carry around everything on a cart or in my hands. This video provided me with some ideas to think about as I begin working in the future.

I may start to sound repetitive but I really love this! This reminds me a lot of my high school. I went to a very small charter school with 93 students in my graduating 2014 class. We were far from traditional school and would find open spaces just like the teacher in this video! I think that even if I work somewhere (most schools) where I have my own classroom, I would want something mobile like the teacher had for us to be able to have class outside or in different areas of the school. I think it's helpful for teachers and students to get out of routine and do something different for new learning to occur!

This is an interesting method of teaching. As a teacher moving between classrooms sounds tedious and potentially, chaotic. There are pros to this as it requires the teacher to take on a minimalist approach and be flexible. In addition, the idea of flexible seating sounds great for collaboration and group discussions!
