Mobile phone case

Most of the Smartphone case nowadays has metal or glass build that makes it difficult to keep them safe. A good phone case not only protects the Smartphone but also gives an exquisite style to the Smartphone outlook. The phone cases may be thin, hybrid, rugged or wallet-like.

Screen protectors

Screen of a Smartphone is the most delicate part. Any damage in the display can lead to obsolesce of the phone and replacing the display can be quite expensive. So, a good quality screen protector is a must. Screen protectors not only keep the display free from blemishes and scratches but also protect the display even if it falls on its face.

Charger

A fast-charging charger of good brand can make a huge difference in a Smartphone’s battery-life. So, a charger, convenient if wireless, is another must accessory for a Smartphone user.

Power bank or portable charger

No one in today's world have time to pause and stay in one place. A portable charger i.e. power bank allows one to charge their Smartphone even when they are outdoors. However, the quality and brand of power bank should be thoroughly checked as the use of low quality brand could result in battery damage.

Phone Holders

A phone holder does exactly what its name suggests and 'holds' the phone for you. Its presence has eased several tasks from navigating through GPS without having to put one’s eyes off the road while driving, to watching movies and videos without having to hold the phone till our hands ache. Especially for the people with vehicle, a proper car mount is a must.

Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer

Everyone wishes to capture videos with smooth moving shots; however, sometimes some unintended motions may corrupt the shots. Gimbal stabilizer is the best solution and accessory one must have to capture incredible images and smooth motioned videos.

Earphones or headphones

Earphones or headphones, wired or wireless, are widely used all over the world. For everyone who loves to enjoy listening songs, news or even talk on phone without having to hold ones phone, an earphone or headphone is the key. A good quality earphone last long and has good quality audio.

Micro SD card or External Storage

As we tend to do a lot of activities in our Smartphone, expandable storage has become another important accessory. A thorough evaluation of expandable limit should be made before purchasing a SD card. Also, if you plan to use an external flash drive, make sure that the phone supports USB OTG.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Every Smartphone comes with its own speakers; some may have great sound quality whereas some may not. In such case, it’s better to get a portable speaker that one can carry around.

Selfie Stick

Are you fond of taking selfies? If yes then, you must plan to get a selfie stick that assists you to get wide angle perfect shots.

As the world is affected by the novel Coronavirus Pandemic, the teaching-learning process has shifted to online or digital approach. From elementary-level to university-level, all the classes are being conducted online throughout the world. Consequently, parents are concerned about the gadgets that could help their kids in digital learning.

People, generally, use a Smartphone, tablet or laptop for online education. Considering different factors like availability, health aspects, budget, screen, class-time, etc. the suitability of a gadget for online education differs from person to person and their age-group. 

Here, we present you the device or gadget that could be efficient and suitable for you or your kids.

Smartphone 

The gadget possessed by a lot of people i.e. Smartphone is handy, portable and easy to use. It is best suitable for short classes with possibly less or no slide shows or whiteboards because the screen is too small to read the content and can strain your eyes. Being handy, children can easily use it and surf the net for homework as well. The battery part may also be another disadvantage if you have longer classes. And, I personally feel that it’s difficult to do and submit homework and assignments in a Smartphone. But, if you have a limited budget, go with smartphones because something is better than nothing.

Tablet

Tablet, with a relatively large screen, is the best device for children. It won't strain the eyes as one can easily read the contents in a slide show or whiteboards. As it is easy to use, the children can join the classes on-their-own and can also surf the internet for their homework conveniently. There are several budget-friendly tablets as well which don’t lack much in functions and features. The battery aspect differs with the brand but will not cause many problems. Tablets are suitable for higher class students with a limited budget as well.

Laptop

Laptop, in my opinion, is the best gadget for online education. From attending classes to completing assignments and projects easily, it is the best device for students (from mid-school and above) and teachers. Varieties of functions, larger screen size and longer battery life are the major advantages of using a laptop for online education. However, the budget aspect can be a disadvantage as most of the good laptops are above $400 or Nrs. 40,000.

Online education, superficially, seems to be a great substitute for traditional education approach and also a step closer towards a digital world. But, it has its own consequences as well; Increase in screen-time leads to an increase in health risk as well. So, it’s better if you try to reduce the screen-time as much as possible.
