Tech expert Andrea Smith says the most essential thing is a laptop and students will tell you they need one every year, they don’t but every couple of years you probably should be looking at upgrading their laptop to the latest technology that you can afford.

Paper and ink get delivered whenever you are running low and there are plans for every family no matter how much you print. And printer ink comes to your door if you have a compatible printer, and your students get ink on demand.”

She says it is filled with easy to use professional design tools to help them to create everything from science fair posters to info graphics and much more.
