Modern Family shows us just how big the digital era is


Please have a look at this clip - it's funny and really demonstrates the shift in society's reliance on technological items (especially younger generations).We used this at the end of our ICT presentation about PD for teachers around ICT. Basically we were trying to make the point that as technology is such a big part of taday's world, teacher's need to know about it! As well as this we need to make sure PD is directed at the right level for each teacher and we also pointed out that in-house PD sessions are much more effective than external sessions.
Also, going back to the clip from 'Modern Family', the whole episode is pretty hilarious. The older daughter ends up winning as she fools her parents into thinking she's talking on her mobile. Her father, thinking he's won, straight away grabs a laptop and she then reveals that she'd carved the shape of a mobile phone out of a bar of soap, and coloured it in with a permanent marker and spent the last two days talking to herself.
