- The Mobile Educational Trailer Unit in Outdoor Teaching. Rillo, Thomas J. Educational Equipment Educational Facilities Field Trips Flexible Facilities Learning Centers (Classroom) Learning Experience Mobile Classrooms Mobile Laboratories Outdoor Education Resource Materials Teaching Conditions The concept of achieving mobility for outdoor teaching using a small mobile educational unit and the techniques of facilitating the mobility of equipment and supplies are discussed in this article. A small trailer unit can be used to enrich the learning experiences of students. Since the mobile educational unit is adaptable, it can be used as a classroom-laboratory on wheels. A trailer unit has many other advantages, such as: (1) the equipment can be conveyed to each school, thus saving individual schools from having to spend their limited budgets; (2) the equipment is always available and not mislead; (3) it is durable; (4) it can be constructed by school maintenance personnel or the industrial arts classes; (5) it can be utilized as a multi-purpose teaching station--i.e., a center for nature slide talks at night or a rolling nature center of live wildlife specimens; and (6) it can be used as a traveling field station for extensive and diversified field trips. Also given is a list of equipment and library references for the mobile educational unit. (NQ)
