Long gone are the days of learning in school through just whiteboards and markers. The huge advances in technology within the past decade has seen the creation of countless gadgets and cool tech products.
Using them within school settings can benefit both teachers and students by making education more fun. Here is a rundown of the top five best tech products that you should think about purchasing for this school year!
Portable printers
College students understand the chaos in the library in the morning when a paper is due. Everybody is rushing to get their work printed and of course, some printers may decide not to work, which adds even more stress.
The great thing about portable printers is that they can save you from this headache. Avoid the chaos and print from the comfort of your own room or, alternatively, pop out for a coffee and print from your phone.
Laptop charging lockers
Charging lockers offer the benefits of allowing you to charge key electrical products while also keeping them safe and secure. For college and university students, staying connected and safe are two top priorities so laptop charging lockers can come in really handy.
Obtaining charging lockers for laptops also serve as a place where you can store bulky or heavy electrical equipment, saving you from having to drag them around campus all day if you only need to use them for a couple of hours.
There are multiple variations of laptop charging lockers, so knowing what type you need before you buy is ideal. Individually locked compartments are a good option for personal use as they can provide individual lockers for many people. On the other hand, single-door lockers that access all laptops may be better suited to a classroom environment where one teacher needs to access all the devices at once.
USB fan
Spring and summer are great times of the year, but not if you’re in school. Spending all day in the heat can make students lethargic and concentration goes out of the window when you’re sitting in a hot, humid atmosphere.
USB fans are a very cost-effective way to keep cool and focus on your learning. The nifty little gadgets can be charged for use when you need, or plugged into your laptop or desk to provide you with an instant cool breeze.
Camera
Cameras have been around for a long time, so you may be wondering why it’s on the list for new handy tech products? Well for students whose field of study is in art, photography or even science, having a high-quality camera is essential for their course.
Modern cameras have many built-in high-tech features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and dual pixel autofocus. The great thing about them is that, once you’re done, you can safely store them in your backpack thanks to their lightweight and compact designs.
Wireless headphones
Whether at the gym or on their way to class, many students enjoy listening to music or podcasts. Or maybe you want something to cover the sound of noisy rooms and halls in order to stay focused and immerse yourself in your work.
Finding a great pair of wireless headphones can allow you to listen comfortably without hurting your ears, and also without any wires that can get tangled up.
The good news is: wireless headphones come in a bunch of different colours and often contain built-in Wi-Fi to provide you with a top-quality experience.
