TellDear gives you a ready-made toolkit for media literacy and argumentation classes — 535 structured aspects, AI-powered analysis apps, and a fallacy quiz. No setup required for most features.
10 minutes at the start of class. Students quiz themselves on fallacy recognition, then compare answers. The Trainer generates a new question each time — no two sessions are the same.
Project a news article, political speech, or advertisement. Run it through the Analyzer together. Students discuss which aspects were flagged and why — moving from intuition to structured critique.
Students take a position they disagree with and must use the Steelman app to construct the strongest possible version of it. Builds empathy, rigor, and argumentation skills simultaneously.
Assign one aspect per student. Each researches it in the directory, finds a real-world example, and presents it to the class. Works as a semester-long project or a single lesson.
No account needed for browsing the Aspect Directory or using the Fallacy Trainer.
AI-powered apps (Text Analyzer, Steelman, etc.) work in free mode out of the box. For better results, students can add their own API key from any supported provider. A shared class key works fine too.
