West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- With summer vacation winding down, the U.S. Census Bureau expects close to 80 million children and adults heading back to the classroom. Total school spending this year is targeted at over 70 billion with 8 billion for electronics. Emmy Winning Tech and Trends expert Brett Larson looked at some products and trends that should be on the radar for back to school shopping this year.

There is an array of new tech tools that can help propel a student to a more successful school year! It’s important to know the tech trends so your school budget is spent on the products that can produce the most results over time.

August is the month when most schools start the new school year and purchasing the right supplies can determine how prepared a student will be for class. “There is an array of new tech tools that can help propel a student to a more successful school year!” says Emmy Award winning Tech and Trends reporter Brett Larson, and host of KillerApps.TV. “Do your research online for not only the best price, but look for the tech that will grow with you throughout the year”.

Children, teens and young adults are already very familiar with technology while staying in touch with friends and playing games, but a lot of this same technology can also be very helpful for learning and staying on track in school. What teachers once thought were distractions in the classroom are now being integrated into their curriculum. “It’s important to know the tech trends so your school budget is spent on the products that can produce the most results over time.” says Larson.

Here are the 5 featured “Killer Apps” to check out for Back to School 2013.

1. VTech. The InnoTab 3S, the next generation of one of the first children’s learning tablets with Wi-Fi, features VTech Kid Connect – an exclusive communication app that allows kids to be connected with their parents and friends through both tablet-to-mobile and tablet-to-tablet communication, a rechargeable battery pack with AC adapter and a kid-safe web browser. In addition, access to VTech’s Learning Lodge app store – home to a plethora of downloadable content and curriculum – plus 20 free apps, provides kids with a bright start on their learning journey.

2. Smartphone. Today’s smartphones and mobile devices are getting a lot smarter, faster and can do so much more than the devices students have used in the past. However, you need to find one with the processing speed, power and battery longevity to take full advantage of all its capabilities. Check out the new HTC One and Samsung Galaxy 4 for some of the fastest processing speeds. Search your favorite network provider for more information.
