Back to School Tech: Remote student gear

As families are gearing up for one of the strongest Back To School shopping seasons in the last five years, technology will be front facing. Remote learning has made tech a must-have for students of all ages so you want to make sure you have the right equipment. I’ve partnered up with a few tech brands to help you find something special for students of all ages.

Video and Audio Tech


AVerMedia has all the video and audio tech you need: The PW5-13 4k and PW3-15 1080p webcam both work seamlessly and are certified for Zoom, with an ultra-wide 94° field of view to capture groups of students or the teacher and course content in one frame. The PW3-10P HD webcam is great for remote learning, with auto-focus that ensures you always look your best, even in a low light environment and the AS3-11 speakerphone offers flexible, hands-free communication that reduces background noises. You can shop for all these products on Amazon and look for special Back to School deals. For more info go to AVerMedia.com.

Ergonomics


My next top pick for Back To School is from Razer. If you are sitting for long hours like I do, Razer has this sleek and ergonomic Iskur chair. The chair comes with an award winning adjustable lumbar curve it keeps posture-perfect and comfortable for those long study sessions and gaming breaks.

Laptop


And their newest powerful, compact and portable laptop the Razer Blade 15 features NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX technology, a dedicated GPU for faster speeds in dozens of STEM tools and apps and has an all-new 11th Gen Intel Core H-Series Processor, for great power.

Use the code “BACK2SCHOOL” for up to 20% off select gear. For more go to Razer.com.

Screen Time


One thing to consider before buying new tech is how kids (and parents) will make use of it during the year. We all have been using our phones a lot more during the last few months of the pandemic. I know I have! This new iOS app, ScreenZen, can help us use our phones less and be with our family more. It's got positive vibes and focuses on being aware and intentional about how we use our phones. Hopefully families can use this app to spend more time offline together. For more, check out and download ScreenZen on the App Store.


Finally, parents are not only shopping online but also using social media as well as advanced tech tools like virtual wallets, voice assist and other AI tools to make their Back To School shopping smarter and more efficient. In fact using tech tools to buy tech gear.
