Using Discovery Education to Teach the Salem Witch Trials in the Classroom

By admin

The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and five men, and the deaths of several others in jail. It was the deadliest witch hunt in the history of colonial North America. The trials were sparked by a group of young girls who claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several women in the community of practicing witchcraft. The accusations quickly spread, and soon dozens of people were brought to trial. The trials were conducted in a highly biased manner, with little regard for evidence or due process.


This is probably a setting on the TV itself where you can set what it displays when you start up. You may be able to set it to display a specific input, or to start up displaying the same input that was being used when the set was turned off.

With a One For All universal remote control for your LG television, you can control the TV and other electronic devices with just one remote control including your Blu-ray player, DVD player, game consoles, home theater, streaming devices and many more. When you choose to install your universal remote control using the SimpleSet feature, you are just three steps away from connecting your remote control to other electronic devices.

The trials were conducted in a highly biased manner, with little regard for evidence or due process. Many of the accused were convicted based on spectral evidence, which involved the testimony of the afflicted girls who claimed to see the accused's spirit tormenting them. Discovery Education has curated a collection of resources on the Salem witch trials, providing students with an opportunity to explore this chapter in American history.

‎08-01-2023 03:16 AM LG TV and Roku remote both required to access Roku apps menu

I have this same exact is with my second LG tv in my home. The Rokus are both less than a week old. The one on my older LG tv works as expected. The newer one when I use the Roku remote to power tv on, which it does, instead of going to the Roku Home Screen it starts off with the LG Home Screen. The Roku remote does nothing at this point except power the tv on or off. I need to use the magic remote to select the input which immediately takes me to the Roku remote which then becomes active.

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community!

We understand that you're having trouble with the set up of your TV with the Roku streaming device. It seems like this issue is likely within the TV itself. It may be best to contact your TV manufacturer and inquire further about the issue.

We hope for your understanding regarding this.

All the best,
Kash

This is probably a setting on the TV itself where you can set what it displays when you start up. You may be able to set it to display a specific input, or to start up displaying the same input that was being used when the set was turned off.

Another possibility is you may be able to get the TV to switch to the input to which you have the Roku connected automatically:

  • Enable "1-touch play" via Roku menu path Settings > System > Control other devices.
  • If your TV supports CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) on the HDMI port to which your Roku is connected, when you press a Roku control button in the Roku remote, the TV will come out of standby if necessary and switch to display the Roku's HDMI port.

On some sets you may need to have the TV do a scan or search first to identify connected CEC devices. Also, some sets may not have CEC enabled by default and you may need to turn it on.

Unfortunately many tv manufacturers call the CEC function by their own proprietary names. Some common ones:

• AOC: E-link
• Hitachi: HDMI-CEC
• LG: SimpLink or SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC)
• Mitsubishi: NetCommand for HDMI, Realink for HDMI
• Panasonic: VIERA Link, HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync
• Onkyo: RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI)
• Philips: EasyLink
• Pioneer: Kuro Link
• Runco International: RuncoLink
• Samsung: Anynet+
• Sharp: Aquos Link
• Sony: BRAVIA Link, BRAVIA Sync, Control for HDMI
• Toshiba: CE-Link, Regza Link

Some other names shared by multiple manufacturers:
• Fun-Link, INlink, T-Link

I was extremely disappointed with the Discovery Education Salem Witch Trials documentary. The content was shallow and lacked depth, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and uneducated on the topic. The narration was monotonous and failed to engage me, making it difficult to retain any of the information presented. Additionally, the documentary seemed rushed and failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the events surrounding the Salem Witch Trials. Overall, I would not recommend this documentary to anyone seeking a thorough understanding of this important historical event.
2. Mark - 2 stars
I found the Discovery Education Salem Witch Trials documentary to be underwhelming. The production quality was subpar, with grainy visuals and poor sound. This made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the storytelling process and connect with the material. Moreover, the pacing of the documentary felt disjointed and rushed, leaving me struggling to keep up with the sequence of events. I believe that a more careful and detailed approach could have provided a more informative and engaging viewing experience. Unfortunately, this fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was quite unimpressed with the Discovery Education Salem Witch Trials documentary. While the subject matter is fascinating, the documentary failed to capture the intrigue and complexity of the events. The information presented felt superficial, without delving into the societal and cultural factors that contributed to the witch trials. Additionally, the documentary lacked a strong narrative structure, making it difficult to follow the progression of the events. Overall, I felt let down by this documentary and would not recommend it to others looking for a detailed exploration of the Salem Witch Trials.
