The Debate Network(TDN)

---

We are a team of creators and developers who have developed a debate platform for individuals and teams to debate any subject manner they want too in a safe and respectful manner. To achieve this we have developed a program that connects people through a live VIDEO DEBATE format so people can see and hear  one another during the debate.  The Debate Network Platform moderates the time of each section: intro, affirmative position, counter position, rebuttals and conclusions. The debate is moderated by control of the microphone and keyboards by muting them when it is not the person's turn to speak. That way they can focus on what the other person is saying to present counter arguments and points, helping in listening skills.

 We see this as a potentially great educational tool as debating teaches skills in: critical thinking, listening, research and presentation, it also can enhance self confidence with personal interactions.
