ThinkTok teaches students to spot bias, verify facts and form their own views — using real news stories, every day.
Currently in private pilot. No spam, ever.
Every day, students get one real news story. They work through a short, guided flow designed to build the habits that matter most in a world full of spin, misinformation, and noise.
Not another media studies worksheet. Not a quiz app. A genuine thinking practice — sharp, fast, built for phones.
One real, curated news article. Edited for clarity. Always age-appropriate.
Who wrote this? What might they want you to think? What's missing?
Is that stat real? That quote accurate? That claim supported by evidence?
Your opinion. Backed by your reasoning. Not what anyone told you to think.
We always had spin. We always had bias. But AI has industrialised it — generating believable content at scale, tailoring it to individual feeds, and making the line between real and fabricated almost impossible to see. For young people growing up inside this, the question isn't whether they'll encounter misinformation. It's whether anyone taught them to notice.
Most schools haven't. Media literacy appears in the UK curriculum — but without structured, regular practice, it stays theoretical. ThinkTok is the daily habit that makes it real.
The UK curriculum is moving. Ofsted and government guidance increasingly name AI literacy, fake news awareness, and critical media skills as priorities. ThinkTok gives schools a ready-made, curriculum-aligned daily practice — with teacher packs, discussion starters, and SEN/EAL support built in. No lesson planning. No extra workload.
Each story is a short, structured sequence of interactive steps. Students don't just read — they interrogate. From spotting the angle to checking AI-generated claims, every module builds a skill that transfers beyond the classroom.
Students read the real article with editorial context — who wrote it, where it appeared, why it matters.
Identify the angle, the framing, and the language choices. Whose perspective is missing?
A specific claim from the story is put to the test. Students evaluate evidence and decide.
Students form and defend a position with their own reasoning — not what they were told to think.

Galia Shilo Sum spent over two decades as a senior journalist and editor in print media — and watching from the inside how stories are constructed to shape what people think and feel.
In recent years, she turned that expertise toward education. As a school governor, content expert, and producer of many TEDx events across the UK (and a speaker herself), she's spent years asking the same question: why aren't we teaching young people to think critically about the media they consume every day?
“AI hasn't created the misinformation problem. It's just made it impossible to ignore any longer.”
She has led creative writing programmes, AI literacy workshops, and fake news awareness sessions in UK schools — and seen first-hand how quickly students develop the instinct to question, once someone gives them the tools and the practice.
ThinkTok is those tools, built into a daily habit. Galia leads all content: designing the learning flows, curating the stories, and making sure every module earns its place in a student's ten minutes.
