Best Tech Gadgets For College Students

If you have a tech lover in your family that is heading off to college soon, there are some pretty cool gadgets that they can now take with them. College is a challenge for most young students, so a bit of help can be a life saver.

If you are looking to send a small gift with your child on their journey to academia, your tech savvy teen will love some of these ideas. Students can be impossible to buy for, with quickly changing trends impossible for most parents to keep up with.

Whether your college kid is looking to work online anywhere or needs a bit more light to study their copy of the works of Saint Augustine for their Lit class, there is just the right gadget for them in this list.

Scan Pen

This handheld scanning device can help save a lot of time when you are studying. You can replace all of your old highlighters and replace it with this ingenious way to take down your study notes.

Simply run the Scan pen it along the text that you want to highlight and it goes directly into a program that will make you notes. It’s small enough to take anywhere with you from the dorm to the library and it comes with its own USB charging cord.

Reading LED Clip Light

During the college years, there will be plenty of late-night study sessions. Most students end up sharing their living space in a dorm or an off-campus apartment, which will require them to be respectful of their roommate.

Turning on all the lights so that you can study might not be the best way to keep the peace with a roommate. A Clip On LED light can be easily attached to any textbook, desk or laptop to help you get the light you need to study into the night.

Fidget Pen

For anyone that just can’t keep still while in class or studying for a big test, this sleek fidget pen will keep even the most busy hands occupied. The silent movement will keep your fidgeting under the radar and prevent you from annoying your neighbors while you get relief from stress.

Hands Free Book Holder

This is the perfect study tool for any student. Taking notes, working on the computer and trying to keep your textbook open to the page you need will never be a challenge again. Read in bed, at your desk or in the car with hands free ease and convenience with a hands-free book holder.

Print Magnifier

When your eyes are getting worn out from the endless studying in college, every student could use a print magnifier. Give your eyes a rest by using this simple handheld magnifier to make even the smallest printed text easy to read.

USB Port Laptop Backpack

Every college student needs a durable backpack. Why not choose one that easily fits and can charge your laptop or devices at the same time? The laptop backpack with a USB port built right in can be a lifesaver for any college student.

Bluetooth Keyboard

Choose a standard construction or a collapsible silicone keyboard to be able to easily work anywhere on or off campus. Connect via Bluetooth to your smartphone, laptop or tablet to take notes wherever you might be. There are no wires to remember or batteries to replace, just charge at home and take it with you wherever you go.

Conclusion

Being a student in college can be tough, especially in the first year. One of these innovative gadgets can thrill your teen and help them move smoothly into college.
