How Can Technology Support a Trolley Teacher?
In this clip, Kimberley Hornburg an ESL primary teacher at CSPI, explains how she got organized after she lost her class because of an increase in clientele.
Being a trolley teacher means that each period is done in a different room with differing contexts and technology. It’s not always easy to manage and to think about everything needed for a period.
Tools such as the IWB software (Notebook, ActiveInspire, etc.) and even presentation tools like Power Point Online or Google Slides can become helpful when you need to get going fast with a class. With these applications, you can already plan a routine and have links that you need for your lesson, LES or activity.
