Back-to-school tech for teens & college students to help make school life easier.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether you have a teen in high school or one moving into the dorms at college, technology is one of the main concerns of today’s teens. <\/p>\n As kids grow, so does their sophistication of the technology they use. Yes, technology is an investment, but buying higher quality tech items today will better ensure your teen will use it for the years ahead.<\/p>\n Here are our top school tech for Teens and college student picks, sure to be a hit with your student.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looking for a phone for your highschooler or college student that is advanced but not overpriced? We love the Google Pixel 3a<\/a>. <\/p>\n It has a full HD display with a quality 12.1 MP front-facing camera, and an 8 MP selfie camera. Because it’s a Google phone, it will receive the best and latest Google Android features first before other brands’ Android phones.<\/p>\n One such feature is Google’s new AR Walking Directions. Your teen can clearly see how to get somewhere on foot by using his\/her phone’s camera to see the path with directions and pointing areas overlayed on the view of the street. <\/p>\n It’s really helpful technology and Google phones get this feature first. The Pixel 3a also features a fast charge battery, fingerprint security sensor, and unlimited photo backup on Google Photos.<\/p>\n Your student will get a lot of higher-end features at a lower end price.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Google Pixel 3a is available unlocked in Just Black, Purlpl-ish, and Clearly White for $399 from Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mobile Bluetooth music is a must in any teenager’s life and a speaker that is stylish and reflects your teen’s personality is all the better. <\/p>\n We love the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 3<\/a> cylinder speaker. With its spatial 360\u00b0 sound and thundering bass, this speaker can fill a room.<\/p>\n Avaliable in 7 colors, and an option to customize a speaker color to one’s liking, the MEGABOOM 3 features a 20-hour battery life. <\/p>\n It can pump out the music all day and night long before needing to be recharged. The MEGABOOM 3 can be used to play, pause, and skip tracks straight from the speaker, no need to reach for the phone.<\/p>\n And where there are teens, there is normally water. Ultimate Ears knows this and made sure the MEGABOOM 3 is water and dustproof with an IP67 rating, making it splash-proof, dunk-proof, and completely water-proof. <\/p>\n In fact, it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes and still work. Yet, it’s floatable, so if placed in the water, it will float around, pumping out tunes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A good phone case is a must to protect the most valuable and mobile asset teens have, their phone. <\/p>\n Of course, style is always important for teens as well. We tried out the Grip2u phone iPhone 8\/7 Plus – BOSS Rosewood case for my teenage daughter. <\/p>\n She loves her other cases, yes, she has a couple to use dependent upon her mood, but she was immediately attracted to the Grip2u Phone case.<\/p>\n At first, she wasn’t sure about the included handle but has found it to be very helpful in stabilizing the phone in her hand, giving her extra comfort in not dropping it.<\/p>\n My daughter also liked the embedded card holder, perfect for keeping her ASB student ID close at hand whenever she needs it. Great for school, but also for football games. <\/p>\n She can place her ASB card and some folded over money in case she needs it.<\/p>\n The Grip2u case includes double layer shock-absorbing protection and is compatible for wireless charging for the iPhone 8 Plus. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THe iPhone 8\/7 Plus – BOSS Rosewood case is available from Grip2U<\/a> for $29.99 with free shipping. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have covered Google Home<\/a> before, it’s a great way to use Google Assistant in your kitchen, office, or bedroom, allowing you to ask Google Assistant questions and listen to music.<\/p>\n The Google Hub Max is Google Home’s larger and beefier cousin, bringing high fidelity sound and learning technology to adjust equalizer settings to match the acoustics of any room you put it in. <\/p>\n The Google Hub Max includes dual 4.5″ woofers for deep sounding bass and custom tweeters for vividly clear highs. <\/p>\n Teens love music and the Google Hub Max will fill their room with encompassing and accurate sound.<\/p>\n And of course, it’s dual-purposed with the magic of Google Assistant. With its far-field voice control, it can pick up a voice across the room, even with music booming. <\/p>\n Teens can command up to 35 million songs from Spotify, Pandora, YouTube Music, etc.<\/p>\n The Google Hub Max can even control other smart devices in your teens’ room or house, like turning of lights and fans attached to smart plugs and more. <\/p>\n Google Hub Max works with more than 1,000 smart devices.<\/p>\n Perfect for listening to music, setting morning alarms, checking the weather, setting reminders, or getting help with homework.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Lenovo Google Smart Clock is on sale right now through Lenovo<\/a> for just $59 with free shipping, a $20 savings!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nBest School Tech for Teens & College Students<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\nIf the Google Hub Max is too high for your budget, we recommend the Lenovo Google Smart Clock<\/a>. It sells for just $60 (on sale right now) and has all the benefits of Google Assistant but with a 4″ display.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\nIts small footprint allows it to be placed in small spaces. Although not as powerful as the Google Hub Max, the Google Smart Clock has a 6-watt speaker, loud enough to wake your sleeping teen from his\/her slumber.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIt’s a great little alarm clock and can easily be set by touch or voice, offering such a great convenience. Does your teen hate to hear an alarm clock go off in the morning? S\/he can hit the alarm clock with a hand to turn it off. What teen wouldn’t want to do that?<\/div>\n <\/div>\nTeens can also set reminders, get directions (which can then be sent to their phone), get homework help, weather, check calendar events for the day the temperature, and so much more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2019\/08\/Back-to-School-Teen-Tech-Guide-PIN.png?resize=384%2C577&ssl=1\")
