Short to read. Careful to make.
A bite takes two minutes to read. It should also be something you can trust, quote in a lesson plan, and build on. Quality comes before everything else, including the daily schedule.

Choose
Bites rotate across nine strands of the field. The next concept is usually one that earlier bites already point to, so the collection grows as a connected map. Core ideas come first; lesser-known ones follow.
- 2
Research
Each bite starts from the work that introduced the concept, then the studies and reviews that shaped it. Where researchers disagree, the bite says so.
- 3
Write
About twenty sentences in a fixed shape: a one-line definition, a short essay, three classroom moves, a common myth, and a question to reflect on. Plain English throughout. Technical terms appear only when needed, and are explained.
- 4
Check every reference
Every DOI is checked against Crossref, the official registry for scholarly articles: the title, year and author must match. Books are checked against library records, and every link is opened. A reference that fails is fixed or removed.
- 5
Fact-check, separately
A second, independent review reads the bite sceptically: is each claim accurate, and credited to the right person? Anything that cannot be confirmed is softened or cut.
- 6
Publish
One bite goes live each morning at 06:00 Vietnam time. Nothing is published until it has passed every check.
Our standards
- No invented sources. Every reference can be opened and read.
- No invented quotations or statistics.
- Credit where it is due: who coined a term, and who made it popular.
- Debates shown fairly, not from one camp.
- Plain English. If a sentence needs reading twice, it is rewritten.
Where AI fits in
Bites are researched and drafted with the help of AI. That is what makes a new one possible every day. The checks above are what make it trustworthy: references are verified against official records, not taken on trust.
