<![CDATA[General Background Indonesia possesses vast cultural and religious variations requiring early integration within school curricula to foster societal harmony. Specific Background Sixth-grade lessons frequently rely heavily on conventional teacher explanations, causing students to become passive and hesitant to express personal opinions regarding tolerance. Knowledge Gap Although modern schools provide digital facilities like touch-screen technology, their optimization as collaborative media to build civic norms remains severely underutilized. Aims This study describes the integration of digital display panels with a cooperative thought-sharing model to foster respect for diverse backgrounds among twenty students. Results The implementation transformed passive listening into active visual collaboration, raising student participation rates from 38 percent to approximately 92 percent. Furthermore, conceptual understanding of tolerance and daily cultural awareness escalated from an initial 38 percent to 85 percent following the intervention. Novelty Combining structured paired discussions with large-scale digital screens bridges the gap between abstract civic concepts and tangible, participatory collaboration. Implications Educators should maximize available visual technologies paired with cooperative frameworks to make civic learning more inclusive and engaging. Highlights: The integration of an Interactive Flat Panel and Think-Pair-Share models raised active participation to 92 percent. Students' conceptual grasp of cultural and religious differences escalated to 85 percent post-intervention. Combining visual technology with collaborative stages resolved student hesitancy in expressing personal opinions.
