Teaching student to evaluate the web

1. Web pages that end in .org are put together by private organizations, so the information might be biased.
2. Web pages that end in .com are commercial websites, so they have lots of advertisement.
3. Are the sources documented with footnotes or links.  Are there links to other resources on the topic.
4. What are the author's credentials on this subject.
5. Is the page current?
