As a former teacher, one of the most rewarding parts of my profession is hearing about the success of my former students throughout the years. Running into my former first grade families while out doing errands or seeing the name of a former student in the newspaper I taught as a grade 3-5 technology magnet coordinator always warms my heart but the crème de la crème is getting a graduation announcement. Whether graduating high school or college, a graduation announcement signifies a celebration of one’s academic accomplishments and it’s always an honor to be invited to commemorate one’s achievements while looking ahead to a bright future.
Today’s graduates rely on a myriad of devices to stay connected but a true networker relies on their devices to make live easier. If you know a graduate who loves the latest and greatest technology, send this techs savvy individual off to college or into the work force with items that will help them network and stay connected constantly. Since I think it’s important for my former students to create important connections wherever they go, here are 12 of my favorite gifts from the .
