Join me every day this week for Back-to-School Giveaways. I’ll be posting 5-day giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

In this day and age, students really need to be technology savvy, and Dell is here to help. A laptop can be a great resource for kids in all grades, whether it’s for homework or to take notes in class on. Check out these tips from Dell on how to utilize the internet and computer to the fullest this year at school:
- Use the cloud. Take advantage of programs like blueTunes and TunesBag to have your music anywhere you are, and start doing your homework via Google Docs so you never have to worry about forgetting it again!
- Partition your hard drive. Don’t worry about the oops moment when you spill a glass of water or juice all over your laptop. Back up your homework by partitioning your hard drive so that you’ll be able to recover all those saved documents.
- Don’t drain your battery. Working with your laptop plugged in all the time can cut its life short. Instead, detach your battery while your laptop is plugged in to preserve the power capacity and its ability to charge.

I would love pink, but with 3 boys, blue or red would make them happy! Yesterday my oldest (11) looked at me and said ‘Mom a long time ago, can you get me a laptop.’ after I corrected his statement, I said sure, A long time from now, I can get you one!

My son would like a red or black one. He is hating school and I think having his own laptop might boost a little bit of his enthusiasm!
