Top 10 Ergonomic Products for Educators and Computer Users
Since graduating from college, I have worn many hats, including a public and private high school Spanish teacher, an online English curriculum writer, a copy editor, and a blogger {both personally and professionally}. As a result, I have worked in an office, a classroom, and in my own living room. Each job has revolved around heavy computer use, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite ergonomic products.
Top 10 Ergo Products
-
The Mobile Stand. As a good teacher who manages her class and teaches well all at the same time, I love this mobile “desk” that allows any educator (or presenter) speak from any point in the room seamlessly.
- Presentation Keyboards. Along the same vein, presentation keyboards are fabulous for any kind of presentation when you don’t feel like being tied to your desktop computer. Having options for your own positioning as a presenter is crucial for keeping all eyes on you.
- Ergonomic mice. My forefinger and thumb start to cramp with touchpads. Thus, I love the handshake position of an evoluent mouse and the comfort it provides for long periods of mousing.
- Adjustable Keyboard Drawer with Mousing Surface. It’s nice to have a keyboarding and mousing surface that is adjustable- great option if you don’t want to invest in an ergonomic desk.
- Ergonomic Keyboards. Whether you’re left-handed, uncomfortable typing, or just looking to free up desk space, ergonomic keyboards are an easy upgrade.
- Mini Multimedia Keyboards. If desk space is an issue, then why not go mini and wireless, with tons of features?
- Adjustable Ergonomic Work Station. Since I do work from home, I can’t afford to sacrifice too much space on a desk. I like this one because it allows users to sit or stand at a reasonable price within a reasonable amount of space. No more losing productive time because my back is aching and I just can’t sit any longer.
- Lumbar Portable Pillow. I’d love an ergonomic chair, but since that’s not in the budget, I think this lumbar support pillow is a great, less expensive option. Plus, it’s portable, and I can take it when I travel.
- Portable White Noise Generator. If I had a nickle for very time I fondly thought of my portable white noise generators, well, I wouldn’t have to work anymore. I use mine for work, for sleep, and for the kids to sleep. Love it.
- Green Power Strip. I’ve blogged about it before, but I love how efficient this strip is- it saves me time (since I only have to turn off 1 switch) and it saves me money. Win-win.
