Before purchasing anything:
- I highly suggest reaching out to edtech companies to see if they would be willing to donate subscriptions to their service or one of their products. I have had a lot of success with this when planning district conferences as well as the Teach with Tech Conference!
- Also, I know many TeachersPayTeacher authors (☝myself included) are willing to send gift certificates that can be used to purchase resources from their stores.
- Published authors also love to donate a few copies of their book(s) that can be used as door prizes!

Click HERE to read a blog post I wrote about it! I like this remote since I can wear it. Oftentimes I would lay my wireless presenter remote or phone (Yes! You can use your phone as a remote. Check out my post about that HERE) down while I present and forget where I left it š¤¦♀️.

8. Fidget Keys
I found these fidget keyboard keys on Etsy (HERE) that I purchased for a friend. She keeps them on her desk and lets students use them as needed. The clicking sound would drive me nuts if I allowed several students to use thesešbut they do make a cute desk accessory.
