The Discovery Education Board Builder is an opportunity for
students to develop their respectful and ethical mind. The Board Builder provides teachers with the
opportunity to create a medium for students to develop their respectful mind,
providing a use of media and tools to present different versions of lessons,
topics, and views. This allows students
to learn and be presented with different perspectives of topics. As Gardner states. If one wishes to raise individuals who are
respectful of differences across groups, a special burden is accordingly placed
on education in the social sciences, the human sciences, the arts and
literature” (114). Students need to be
taught different ways media can be used and how it can frame the way we
understand important concepts and information.
Board builder provides students with a medium were many different
experiences can be taught and developed.
The board created for The French and Indian War provides students with
an opportunity to understand the concerns that affected the colonists and also
gives students an understanding through maps and images. Students can develop
an understanding of how this war drove colonists into the American Revolution. The idea of providing a digital board where
students can develop these minds supports the develop of their understand of
how these issues then moved America to where it is today. “Students need to
understand why they are learning what they are learning and how this knowledge
can be put to constructive uses” (142).
The digital board proves a stepping stone with this historical event to
provide them with the understanding of why we are learning about this event and
provides them with the tools for them to develop a disciplined mind to take the
information and process it. “But if we
are to be ethical human beings, it is equally our job to use that understanding
to improve the quality of life and living and to bear witness when that
understanding (or misunderstanding) is being used in destructive ways”
(142). The digital board proves a
respectful mind through video and images for students to develop an ethical
mind to process the information to develop their own understanding and perspective. Students are given the factual information to
develop their own respectful and ethical mind on the topic and apply it to
further studies.
