| Abstract: |
This manuscript describes high school family and consumer sciences (FCS) students' active and passive technology use as a component of quasi-experimental research that examined the impact of the Intentionally Unplugged™ curriculum (Roland, 2020) on students' attitudes and behaviors toward their technology use. One hundred and ninety-one students in five FCS teachers' classrooms participated in the study. Pre-testing showed a connection between the time spent on electronic devices and depression. No significant differences were found between levels of depression before and after the Intentionally Unplugged™ curriculum was used by students in the classrooms included in the study.
