5 essentials teachers say they can't live without

Between classes, a working lunch, extracurriculars and grading projects, teachers are truly the ultimate multitaskers. We knew we had to pick their brain for the products they can’t live without — these picks definitely get a gold star sticker.

Not all teachers have daily access to projectors, and those that do are usually saddled with fixed units. With this mini projector teachers can beam videos, worksheets and more in 1080 HD quality anywhere in the room in seconds.

One kindergarten teacher we spoke to said this wireless doorbell is truly the perfect gadget to get the class’ attention, during group work.

-Mini locktop containers have saved the sanity of many teachers, especially those working with the K–4 set. Color me impressed.

Teachers have very little downtime so it’s important to be able to have food and water easily accessible, and that’s why they love mini personal refrigerators! Too cool for school? Never!

Teachers rely on tablets and their smartphones in the classroom, so a portable charger is essential.
