Inside South Florida welcomed back tech expert Jennifer Jolly, who shared a range of tech tools, gadgets, and tips to help families get ready for the back-to-school season.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition
Jennifer kicked off the segment with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition. This tablet is perfect for young children, featuring a child-proof, protective cover, three Creo styluses, and a built-in stand. The key feature is the Samsung Kids app, pre-installed to help parents easily set up screen time limits and restrict access to certain sites, ensuring a safe and educational experience for kids.
Roku Streambar SE
For older students, especially those heading to college, Jennifer recommends the Roku Streambar SE. This two-in-one device adds 4K streaming and clear sound to any dorm room or apartment. It offers access to over 2,500 streaming channels and more than 300,000 movies, TV episodes, and games—all for under $100.
Cashback Deals and Earn Rewards with PayPal
Jennifer highlighted the PayPal app as a fantastic tool for saving money during the back-to-school season. The app allows users to discover deals, earn cash back on purchases, and easily apply savings at checkout. She also suggested stacking cash back offers using a PayPal Cash Back MasterCard to maximize savings.
Motorola Razr at Cricket Wireless
A blast from the past with a modern twist, the 2024 Motorola Razr is available at Cricket Wireless for just under $200 with a new line.
