Get Your Kids Tech-Ready For Back-To-School ($25 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway)

Back when I was growing up, getting ready for back-to-school meant buying new clothes and basic school supplies, like notebooks and pencils.  Times have sure changed!  One look at my son’s school supply list and I wonder how we ever survived without some of the things he has to bring to class.  Children today are also using way more technology than we did and things like computers and printers are a must-have for class projects and papers. 

Although our son is just starting first grade, we purchased two tech items before school started in the hopes that it would make doing school projects and work a little more convenient.  We purchased a netbook so that he could practice his spelling words on a school-recommended website, as well as make him feel a little special by having his own computer.  He’s so pleased with it and I think it’s teaching him a little responsibility, as well as offering him a fun way to learn.

We also purchased a printer, which I will admit was mainly for my work in my classroom/library.  However, it has come in extremely handy for printing off spelling lists and various worksheets and forms provided to my son by his school and teacher.  I’m so glad we made these purchases and can already see the benefits of having them in our home as my son and I both start the new school year off.

HP offers a wide range of electronics that are now becoming those must-have items for helping your children succeed in school.  Whether you’re sending your kids off to college or even kindergarten, HP has smart solutions to keep them at the top of their class when it comes to tackling projects.

The HP Pavilion dv6-70929wm is sure to be the best entertainment PC on campus. With a sleek, tapered metal design, it’s easy to pick up. And with cool features like Beats Audio™ amplified by quad speakers and a subwoofer, it’s tough to put down.

With an HP e-Print wireless enabled printer you can now print from your smartphone or tablet from virtually anywhere! Your children can send photos and assignments from the classroom right to your HP ePrint printer at home by simply sending an email. This printer is also great for teens going away to college! You can share photos and recipes with them in their dorm room. Stay in touch with your students with HP ePrint.

HP XL Ink Cartridges

Back-to-school means lots of printing! These cartridges fit in your printer like HP’s regular cartridges, but they hold more ink! The best part is they are now available at Walmart and Walmart.com/HPink so you can stock up on ink when you buy groceries. You can save up to 40% on printing with HP’s XL ink cartridges*. That’s a great value any mom can appreciate!

*Compared with single, standard HP ink cartridges. Based on average retail pricing, actual prices may vary.
