As the new school year approaches, students and parents alike are gearing up with the latest hi-tech gadgets to enhance learning and productivity. The 2024 back-to-school season is brimming with technology designed to make education more engaging and efficient. Whether you’re a tech-savvy student or a parent looking to equip your child with the best tools for success, this year’s lineup of gadgets promises to transform the academic experience. Here are eight must-have tech gadgets for the coming school year.
Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse
Hand and wrist pain, often a result of marathon computer sessions, can really put a damper on your work. The Logitech MX Vertical’s tilted, upright positioning can help prevent those long days doing research at the library from coming back to haunt you.
Glocusent Book Light
Late-night cram sessions can be a huge strain on your eyes. Glocusent’s new and improved Book Light is a subtle, low-light alternative that’s more versatile than a clip-on book light.
Lapgear Home Office Lapdesk
Sometimes sitting at a desk just isn’t the vibe. Lapgear’s lapdesk can make it much easier and more comfortable to work from your bed or couch by giving you a sturdy surface on which to plop your laptop, notebook, textbook, and other materials. The soft padding on the underside is designed to keep your lap cool even after hours of work, and there’s a built-in mousepad on the top for you to use with your favorite accessory.
Kobo Libra Colour
Rather than lug around too many heavy textbooks in your too-small backpack, get an e-reader like the Kobo Libra Colour to make your life easier. One of the newest models from Kobo, the Libra Colour, has a 7-inch E Ink Kaleido panel, page-turn buttons, an upgraded process, and stylus support!
Echo Dot (4th Gen) Kids Edition
The Echo Dot Kids Edition has all the same features you’ve come to know and love with the Echo Dot, but with more kid-friendly features and better parental controls. Kids can ask Alexa questions and even get help with their homework or ask Alexa to read them a story. Parents can set daily time limits, filter songs and content, and review activity in the Amazon Parent Dashboard.
Bange Backpack
If you are buying all of these amazing tech products, get an equally high-tech backpack that can protect all of them and more. Bange’s backpack is in a class of its own. This bag is functional, affordable, and comes with an in-bag charging port to boot!
2-Pack Portable Charger Bundle
School days mean long hours and longer screen times. Don’t let your phone die on you midday with this incredible 2-pack portable charger bundle. This charger gets rid of pesky wires, in addition to providing a state-of-the-art LED screen to indicate the remaining battery life.
Crucial X9 Pro
It’s a good idea to have all of your important documents for school saved in more than one spot. A portable SSD like the Crucial X9 Pro is a good solution, giving you another spot to save all of those papers, lab reports, syllabi, and the like that you can take with you anywhere and everywhere. Roughly the size of a credit card, it can easily be tossed into a bag or slipped into your back pocket before you rush out the door for the day. Its aluminum body is also IP55-rated, so it’ll survive contact with water and dust.
