As a teacher, I like to plop on my couch, turn on the tv or movie, and work. I may grade online assignments or work on creating lesson plans. And you know what is so aggravating? When my mouse will not move the arrow on my screen! I am guilty of buying sometimes picking price (the cheaper, the better) over quality. When my mouse bit the dust about a month ago, I bought an inexpensive one on Amazon. I got what I paid for - a garbage mouse. So, I invested in a more expensive wireless mouse the third time around. It is so good that I have to share. I bought the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 Compact Performance Mouse. It is wireless, and it does move on any surface - including glass. It is also rechargeable - and uses a USB C. The mouse will remain powered for up to 70 days when it has fully charged. It comes in several different colors - graphite, white, pink, and pale grey. On Amazon, the price is $75.98 (free shipping with Prime). The Amazon price is comparable to what you would find at stores like Best Buy.

While this may not be cool, it may be necessary. Thanks Rona! I am currently teaching via distance learning, but I definitely plan to get one of these for myself whenever we go back to face-to-face learning.

I did find some other plexiglass shields, but they were more expensive or were not collapsible. I like this one because it folds.
