Chrome fact checker workflow for educators and classrooms before sharing or citing sources.
Start with one suspicious homework citation, AI-generated source list, classroom claim, or article link, then run a FactSentinel check before a student cites it, a teacher shares it, or an instructor builds a lesson around it.
Start with the source a student might cite.
A classroom check should be narrow and teachable. Instead of telling students to verify everything at once, isolate the source, article link, claim, or generated citation that will appear in a draft, class discussion, slide deck, or homework submission.
1. Preserve the classroom context
Keep the exact citation, claim sentence, article link, AI answer, prompt output, assignment note, and surrounding context.
2. Run FactSentinel
Review verdict, confidence, source links, reasoning, model agreement, and caveats while the source or draft remains open in Chrome.
3. Turn it into a teaching move
Use the source trail to cite, revise, discuss why evidence is weak, assign a follow-up source hunt, or mark the claim unsupported.
Classroom checks worth running first.
FactSentinel is most useful when the check becomes a visible media-literacy step rather than a hidden answer key.
AI-assisted homework
- Generated citations in essays, outlines, slides, or study guides.
- AI answers that include confident claims without primary sources.
- Reference lists that look polished but have not been opened.
Classroom claims
- Statistics or quotes students plan to present.
- Article links shared in class discussion.
- Claims from videos, social posts, or summaries used in assignments.
Media-literacy lessons
- Comparing primary and secondary sources.
- Spotting unsupported citations and missing context.
- Explaining why a source exists but does not support the claim.
What the check should give a class.
The useful result is not just a verdict. It is a structured evidence trail students can inspect and teachers can turn into a discussion about source quality.
Evidence trail
- Source links tied to the exact claim or citation.
- Caveats when the source is missing, weak, or mismatched.
- Reasoning that students can challenge.
Teaching action
- Cite, rewrite, remove, or research further.
- Ask for a stronger primary source.
- Discuss why the original source trail was not enough.
Measurable install path
- Send install-intent readers through `/download`.
- Run one first-success classroom check.
- Return for the next article link, citation, or AI answer.
