Dive into Technologies and Future Challenges

In Grade 10, addressing technologies and the hurdles they present can serve as a catalyst for deeper thinking and awareness. The CCQ program’s Dokoma debates provide a structured environment where students examine key questions, share opinions, and hone critical thinking skills. You can tailor the proposed arguments and integrate these discussions into your lesson plans, either in class or as homework. By projecting viewpoints on your interactive whiteboard, you encourage active participation and collaboration.

Sample topics include:

• “Will transhumanist technologies allow us to live to 250 in the future?”
• “Does artificial intelligence diminish our human intelligence?”
• “Do social networks harm your critical thinking?”
• “Has the perception of time accelerated due to new technologies?”

These debates invite students to challenge their values, consider diverse viewpoints, and anticipate the consequences of technological choices on their future. The Dokoma approach promotes speaking up and exploring ideas, while reinforcing everyone’s ability to listen and argue respectfully. By choosing these discussions, you help your students better comprehend the world around them and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges.
