  • MP4 Players - Popular with teens everywhere, MP4 players feature music, video and a microphone, allowing kids to record classroom notes that they can convert into files to share with classmates and friends.
• Accessorize with Flair: While backpacks and messenger bags epitomize fashion on the go, personalizing lockers is another major back to school ritual.
