Here at Widener University we have created a "Teaching Pyramid"
 (http://www.widener.edu/libraries.html, then select "Teaching the Web") that
 now includes four
PowerPoint Presentations (we have just added a new one on analyzing the possible
 influence of advertising and sponsorship on the objectivity of Web
information.)  The presentations are:
1.  Introduction to the Web
2.  Using the Web for Research
3.  Evaluating Web Resources
4.  Advertising and Sponsorship on the Web

The pyramid also includes hands on exercises for using Yahoo and Altavista, as
 well as a series of checklists for evaluating Web resources, and a new
 checklist
on analyzing advertising and sponsorship on the Web.

In addition, Marsha Tate and I have just completed a book entitled "Web Wisdom:
 How to Evaluate and Create Information Quality on the Web" which you might find
useful in your teaching. It covers some of the same information you find at the
 Widener site on evaluating Web resources, but has lots of new material, also.

Perhaps some of these resources would be helpful in your teaching.

Sincerely,
