TELL

Read the tells, break the spell.

A media-literacy platform that builds the skill to spot manipulation — including health misinformation. Learn the techniques, then practice spotting them in real-world claims. A public-health defense against misinformation.

You are viewing as TELL. Standard mode: full lesson library and claim practice.

Manipulation-technique lessons

Short, evidence-based lessons on the tells behind health misinformation — fear appeals, false authority, cherry-picking and more.

Claim-verification practice

Read a real-world-style claim and flag every manipulation tell you can find. Scored on precision and recall — over-flagging counts against you.

TELL Junior

Age-appropriate, kid-safe lessons. No peer commons, no open text — a walled garden that still teaches the same skill.

Educator tier

Assign lessons to a cohort and see aggregate-only results. Never any individual child's identity or activity.

Every attempt is provable

Each completed lesson or claim is recorded as a link in a tamper-evident hash chain. Progress can't be silently edited.
