[CASL-L] Library on a Cart

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Rita’s suggestions look good.

When I first started teaching (social studies) in a high school, I used a cart. It had a flat top. This was essential to my teaching. Files and other supplies were on shelves below. I have NOT had to experience my library on a cart. Best advice is to really think about what your priorities are—teaching, checking out books, Makerspace, combo, other?—then choose your cart accordingly.

I look forward to seeing what others have to say here, as always. I think I’m going to be doing lots of traveling, but a cart isn’t an option as my school is NOT in ONE building—traveling over stairs and cobblestones will be tricky. LOL “The stumbling librarian”!

I plan to have lots of my lessons online so I can access easily without ruining my shoulders carrying lots of supplies.

Cheers,
Val DiLorenzo

I brought a Chromebook with USB 10-key and USB scanner if there was book check out; or other materials as needed. I didn't bring a projector because I would just use the classroom teacher's computer (either PPTs on a flash drive or login in an Incognito window in Chrome).

I replied that I wasn’t sure yet, but probably one with a large top surface to serve as a desk/workspace on the go. I also said it would depend on whether I am able to circulate physical books or not and whether or not I would still be responsible for launching a makerspace this year. All that considered, do any of you have any suggestions for what direction I might go in? Presumably some of you (unfortunately) have experience with teaching from a cart and maybe have advice to offer on what kind to choose or how to make this work most effectively? Thank you!
