GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - It can be a little tricky keeping up with technology these days, especially when devices are changing all the time.

So KARE 11 Sunrise attempted to lend a hand, by narrowing down some of the latest and greatest items out there that will also help a student heading back to class.

Trend expert Alexis Walkso stopped by to shine a light on some top picks.  

MyForce is a phone app for your safety. With one touch emergency services are contacted, a users profile will be sent to emergency services and recordings are initiated. You can visit their Facebook page for a three-month free trial.

Rock-it 2.0, turns anything hollow in to a speaker.

iPod Nano has been out for awhile, but is always a cool accessory, especially when used on a watch band.

A Mini Keurig is great for the dorm room, and perfect for the single cup brewer.
