Studypod Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Studypod was developed by a former teacher (assisted with input from his students) to help students organize their workspace when doing homework and reading, helping to make homework more enjoyable and to get their work done faster. Studypod isn’t just limited to students. Here are some examples of different uses for the Studypod: portable music stand portable art stand book holder at the gym recipe book holder When I first saw the Studypod, I thought, “where was that when I was in school”. I could immediately see many uses for it in our home. I was thrilled when I found…
