These digital society mini-lessons are designed for upper school students (aged 16-18) looking to hone their authentic critical thinking (ACT), link their subject knowledge to the real-world, and strengthen their university application profile.
They enable all your students to share the cognitive benefits of TOK without following the IB pathway. For definitions on subject areas, see this page.
