It was quite intimidating for me to share my ideas to my classroom because of the fear of being “wrong.” Discussion boards provide shy or quiet students an non-anxiety experience of sharing their ideas.  Ms. Rance, our kindergarten teacher, approached me to discuss what platform she could use to create a discussion board for her class. She wanted to create a discussion board that would allow her class to communicate with a class in America on different topics.
