Save a Back: Backpack Solutions for Kids With Heavy Loads
A backpack seems like an essential element of back to school shopping and supplies, but in recent years, a lot of commentary has taken place about how heavy a school bag can be, for a child. Does your child have heavy books to tote around? Maybe you are concerned, as well.
The issue shouldn't be as prevalent in early elementary school years, as book sizes are often smaller, and the self contained classroom makes it easy to keep all materials together. In upper elementary classes, you may see some larger books, while at the middle and high school levels, the Science and History books, especially, seem to increase to huge sizes and weights.
A rolling bookbag is a great alternative to the challenge that faces the overloaded tween or teen. In the case of many styles for girls, a wheeled backpack makes an attractive, and fun school bag. For boys, it may be seen as a little less cool.
A messenger bag offers a great alternative to the backpack, in that the cross body style makes it possible to carry the weight a little more evenly distributed. Also, a messenger can be slung over a single shoulder, tote bag style. Messenger bag styles for girls are wide and varied, though you may not find a huge selection in the aisles of your big box retailers. Some have caught on and carry the popular style, but others don't seem to recognize the popularity of the mode.
In terms of boys' book bag styles, at the elementary level, messenger bags with favorite characters are really popular. At the middle school, opt for something with cool graphics, or plain colors, for a more acceptable style.
One strap sling bags are really popular with both boys and girls, but make sure that the measurements will actually accomodate books.
You can find leads on many of these different school bag styles at the Amazon Kids page, and it's really helpful to know that many of the bookbag selections are Amazon Mom eligible, meaning that qualifying orders of $25 or greater can extend prime shipping benefits.

Back to School Computers for Kids
With the knockout sales on computers during back to school shopping sales, it's a great time to think about updating your computer for your family, or for the kids. The needs of your kids, with regard to a school computer, will vary based on age.
Elementary students will have limited need for a personal computer at home, but may find it useful to research for different projects and topics in upper elementary grades. Middle school students, on the other hand, may have greater need. At high school levels, papers and research become more integral, and more research and printing will be entailed.
A good solution for the family with kids in many age and school levels, is a bundled package, including a desktop, monitor, and printer. A desktop is sturdier, and will stand up to multi user handling. Anchored in a common setting, it's able to be well supervised, and managed.
For students who will be doing more research, writing, and printing, a netbook is an outstanding back to school computer choice. A netbook will handle most web browsing, and will allow for good utility software, such as Microsoft Office for Students. Invest in a wireless printer, if you want your child to be able to work from various rooms in the house.
For the teenager, a netbook may be sufficient, but a laptop offers more memory and may be a better choice if your student expects to advance to a higher education institution. Check out some of the most gifted computers, according to Amazon.

Back to School Calculators
Back to school shopping often includes technological tools for older kids. One of the main such tools is a calculator, and while there are plenty of choices, it's good to have a calculator that is reliable, and that meets the main needs of the students. As a math teacher, I have a strong preference for Texas Instruments products, which have continued to adapt over the years. Their products have always been top notch, and I haven't been very happy with my non TI choices.
The TI-15 is a good choice for the middle school student, with more than just the 4 functions, or operations, available on basic calculators. Fractions, squaring and square roots, and more, this is great for most middle school topics.
The TI-30 has been adapted through the years, and is a scientific calculator, including trig functions, as well as the ability to do operations and simplifications with fractions.
Texas Instruments Graphing Calculators are top-notch, as well, with great use in high school and college mathematics courses.
