•  Technology has become an essential part of our daily lives, and it's no different in the classroom. It has the potential to enhance student learning and engagement, but it's important to remember that technology is just a tool, and it's the teaching strategies that come first. As Family and Consumer Sciences teachers, we have a unique opportunity to help students understand the importance of using technology in their daily lives and careers. However, it's crucial that we prioritize student learning and use technology as a means to achieve this goal.•  Differentiated instruction: This approach recognizes that students have different learning styles and abilities and adjusts teaching methods to meet the needs of each individual student. At its most basic level, differentiation consists of the efforts of teachers to respond to variance among learners in the classroom. Whenever a teacher reaches out to an individual or small group to vary his or her teaching in order to create the best learning experience possible, that teacher is differentiating instruction.•  Inquiry-based learning: This approach encourages students to ask questions, explore topics, and make connections between new information and their existing knowledge. This helps students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By putting these teaching strategies first, we can ensure that technology is being used in a way that supports student learning and engagement. Technology should never replace good teaching, but rather enhance it.CONNECT WITH BARBARA:• FCS Podcast: https://fcspodcast.com• FCS Tips: https://www.fcstips.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectFCSed• Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConnectFCSed• Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/connectfcsed• Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/connectfcsed • Tik Tok:  https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdhKwFKc/
