Homeschool Tech Essentials to Watch For
- Noise-Canceling Headphones – Perfect for blocking distractions during lessons or audiobook time. You can check out the ones we LOVE here.
- Tablets (iPad or Fire Tablet) – Great for apps, e-books, and research. We love our iPads- check them out here.
- Printers (like the Epson EcoTank) – Save money on ink while printing endless worksheets. I don’t know that it would be an exaggeration to say that I couldn’t homeschool without ours. I am printing things ALL. THE. TIME. We love our Epson EcoTank- check it out here.
- Stylus Sets – Ideal for handwriting practice, note-taking, and sketching. We got ours for under $15 and they are great! The boys love drawing on their iPads with them. Check them out here.
Learning Tools & Supplies
- STEM Kits – Hands-on science and coding projects. Find the one for you here.
- Math Manipulatives – Counting cubes, fraction circles, magnetic base-ten blocks, etc.
- We love these counting cubes. They click together so when we are done with a math lesson my youngest loves to build things with them! Grab them here.
- Whiteboards and Laminators – Reusable tools for daily lessons.
- We use our whiteboards EVERY school day. I’d recommend getting a magnetic one so that it can be used with any magnetic manipulatives too! You can check it out here.
- I’m a sucker for the laminator. Anytime I can make something once and reuse it, not have to print it over and over and over again (because like I mentioned earlier my printer gets a work out!) it’s a win for me. You can grab a laminator here.
- Don’t forget to grab laminating sheets here.
- If you’re not ready to dive into a laminator these self laminating sheets are a great alternative.
- Kindle + Books – Stock your homeschool library digitally. [affiliate link here]
- I love books so much that I’ve got an entire post dedicated to them and Prime Day/ Prime Big Deal Days. You can check out that post here.
Organization & Sanity-Savers
- Rolling Carts and Book Bins – Keep school materials in one spot.
- I am here for all things organization. Rolling carts are a great organization tool, especially in spaces that are dual purpose (like a dining room/school room situation). You can grab one here.
- This desk organizer can help maintain the chaos as well.
- I also love these zipper bags for organizing the different manipulatives we have. You can grab some here.
- Planners and Timers – Keep everyone on track without nagging.
- I have a dry erase wall calendar that I LOVE. I’ve linked the smaller version of it here because mine is HUGE and probably excessive. You can check out the more reasonably sized version here.
- Don’t forget to grab some wet erase markers here. They are a game changer for the dry erase calendar!
