Personal technology will undoubtedly play a key role as your student prepares to return to school. Some schools have dropped text books altogether. Others may be thinking about similar measures.
Still, no matter what, your child’s smart device plays a big role in the school experience in the classroom or at home.
With that in mind, here are four accessories for your student’s tablet that make the grade:
KEYBOARDS
Qwerty keyboards are fine but if you have a lot of key strokes to make, a free-standing, wireless, Bluetooth-enabled keyboard is a work saver. Here’s a few to consider (prices ranging from under $25 to around $70 on Amazon):
Anker Ultrathin Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, Aluminum Cover with Stand for iPad
Fintie Blade X1 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
ZAGG Folio Case with Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad

TABLET STANDS
Don’t lay the tablet on your desk – stand it up! These are priced in the $30 range:

CTA Digital Height-Adjustable gooseneck floor stand for iPads
