Recommended Tools and Materials
Click to purchase our recommended materials to support effective lessons.
Whiteboard
This whiteboard is a great size and has no plastic edges that can often break.
Document Camera
This can be used so that your student can see your whiteboard during lessons.
Ring Light
This light can help elevate the visual quality of your online lessons. I like the small size and warmth settings of this option.
Walking Treadmill
This treadmill is great for walking while doing paperwork or any administrative tasks!
Dual Monitor
A second monitor that you can plug into your desktop or laptop for easier organization of materials during online lessons.
Fine Tip Markers
These dry erase markers last longest and are the perfect size for lessons.
Document Camera
This serves as both a document camera and fast scanner. If you want to convert books to PDF for online use, this is a great tool to have.
Secretary Desk
The drawer pulls out and folds flat for use as a desktop space. This is a nice desk to blend in with your furniture if you don't have a dedicated office area.
Desk Chair
With adjustable lumbar support, this is my top pick for a comfortable desk chair. ​​
Microphone
For recording lessons, ads, or other materials where audio quality is important. It can also be used during regular lessons to provide clearer, more professional audio.
Headset
This is the headset I use. Having a headset can improve audio quality so students can hear you, and you can hear them.
Laptop
This is the newer version of the laptop I first started out with. This is a powerful tool that you will rely on daily. ​​
​
Walking Desk
With the versatility to transition from sitting to walking, this desk will keep you comfortable on your longest days. ​
Yoga Ball Chair
For you or your student if they struggle with ADHD or wiggles. Use in place of a chair.
Wobble Cushion
Great if your student struggles with ADHD or wiggles. Use on a chair.
