Tech Expert Andrea Smith is here to share some Back to School must-haves!
You may not think of a calculator as a high tech device, but they’re not just for finding the square root anymore. Casio’s PRIZM calculator has a full color LCD screen and a really cool feature called Picture Plot that brings the real world into the math world. You use real life pictures of say, a bridge or a building, and lay a graph over the photo to plot and calculate angles. There’s also built-in memory and a USB port to save those photos. Visit CasioEducation.com/home to learn more.

About saving those photos - there’s nothing more frustrating than running out of storage space on your iPhone or iPad and having to stop and delete your pictures or cat videos. Every backpack needs a SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive which instantly gives you up to 128GB of space. It’s like a storage locker for your files. It connects to your device so you can offload files or use the USB connecter to transfer them to your PC or Mac. This is genius! The new in-app camera lets you shoot photos & videos directly from the drive. You can even set it up automatically to back up your contacts, photos, and videos from your camera roll! Plus, you can watch videos from the drive. Learn more here.

Master Lock Bluetooth Indoor Padlock 4400D
According to the National Crime Prevention Council "young people ages 12 to 17 are far more likely to be victims of property crimes than adults, and most of the crimes occur on school grounds. The majority of these thefts are never reported to police or school officials." Now, one lock maker has come up with a more useful way to help students secure their valuables at school. Forget keys and combinations - today’s kids use their smartphone for everything. Master Lock’s Bluetooth indoor padlock turns your phone into the key! It’s safe and secure, and if you want to let a friend pick up a book for you, you can send them a digital key giving them guest access using the free app. It also lets you know if someone has tried to tamper with your lock.
