I also have a "cart" that I wheel from class to class, and I have found I am much better organized with all my material than when I had a rolling suitcase
I LOVE my cart
Sherry, Love your approach! This is perfect for instructors who don't have dedicated office space too.

I loved the concept of being organize, because like what you said this will save you a lot of time and frustration.
I agree, when teaching a new course it was time saving to use others power points and then customize them to my style.
I would love to have my own file space because we all have such different styles of filing here that it blows my mind. I like things in a orderly manor not all mixed up together.
I have a workmate and we somewhat share workspace, but it has been a very pleasant experience. I have showed her the things I do to stay organized and she has taken some direction and come up with things on her own that she has, in turn, shared with me. Its nice when 2 people can be open enough to do that.
Having your work on wheels is terrific. Mobility anywhere you go. We have several instructors sharing same material so I try and make my own files, however, can be rather a lot of clutter.
I try and scan materials and keep on my flash drive as well.
I have 5 classes at different times and have color coded each class so that when I see their folder I immediately know which class and what time of day they meet and who they have as their primary instructor.
