Goal:
AI may help with
You must do yourself
Do not use AI to
Show your work
CHECK before you trust AI
Use only school-approved, age-appropriate AI tools. Never put your own or anyone else's personal information into an AI tool.
Build, edit, copy and download as many cards as you like. Everything is free. Drafts are saved in this browser only.
Our approach
Teach students to CHECK before they trust
AI is very good at sounding right. That isn't the same as being right. Every EduMate classroom resource builds the same five habits.
C
Compare
Does a reliable source say the same thing?
H
Hunt for sources
If AI names a source, look it up. Does it really exist?
E
Explain it yourself
If you can't explain it in your own words, you don't understand it yet.
C
Consider bias
Whose view is included? Whose might be missing?
K
Know your AI Level
Is AI allowed on this assignment, and how? Not sure? Ask first.
Classroom decisions
What would you allow?
Choose what you would allow in each situation. There is no score. Each choice shows a short explanation and a boundary you could use.
For schoolsHelp your staff put responsible AI guidance into practice.

Check an AI tool before your school uses it
Considering an AI tool for students? I can review it against a 28-point checklist and send your team a plain-language report. Your district makes the final decision.
- Who it's for
- Principals, technology coordinators and teachers choosing tools
- You get
- A written report covering 7 areas and a clear recommendation (recommend for district review, recommend with conditions, or not now). Final approval stays with your district.

About
Hi, I'm Anakha Vijayan.
I am a former DCPS high school science teacher with seven years of teaching and training, and an AI governance professional with the IAPP AIGP credential.
I hold a postgraduate diploma in e-learning design and training development, so the guidance I write is designed to be taught, not just filed. I write practical AI guidance for schools: policies, classroom AI-use rules and checks for AI tools. My independent governance projects are public on GitHub.
