1. A mobile teaching station comprising: a teaching surface having a substantially planar central region and an upwardly directed margin extending at least partially therearound with no structural elements above, the upwardly directed margin; an auxiliary teaching surface that is shiftable between a stored disposition and a teaching disposition, when in the teaching disposition the auxiliary teaching surface is an extension of and substantially co-planar to the teaching surface; a mobile chassis disposed below the teaching surface so that the mobile chassis is coupled to and supporting the planar teaching surface, wherein the mobile chassis includes a first panel and a second panel that are mounted in a spaced-apart relationship such that the first and second side rails present the upwardly directed margin, both first and second panels including a plurality of substantially horizontally disposed rails, wherein the horizontal rails are supported by a plurality of substantially vertically disposed side rails, wherein the mobile chassis has a plurality of storage compartments that are simultaneously accessible from a first teaching station side and a generally opposed second teaching station side, wherein the mobile chassis has an electrical power source mounted therein, and wherein the mobile chassis is moveably supported on a plurality of ground engaging wheels; a first security panel removably secured to the mobile chassis to substantially cover the first teaching station side; and a second security panel removably secured to the mobile chassis to substantially cover the second teaching station side, wherein the first and second security panels restrict access to items stored in the plurality of storage compartments. 2. The mobile teaching station of claim 1, wherein the mobile chassis includes a first end panel and a second end panel that are mounted in a spaced-apart relationship. 3. The mobile teaching station of claim 2, and further including a top opening storage bin affixed to one of the first and second end panels. 4. The mobile teaching station of claim 1, wherein the mobile chassis further includes at least one storage bin slidably mounted in at least one of the plurality of storage compartments. 5. The mobile teaching station of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary teaching surface has an upwardly directed margin extending at least partially therearound. 6. The mobile teaching station of claim 1, wherein the first and second security panels each include a locking lip disposed proximate a lower edge thereof and a lockable device proximate an upper edge thereof. 7. The mobile teaching station of claim 6, wherein each of the lockable devices includes a rotatable locking prong extending therefrom.
