- Relevance refers to the source being appropriate to the student’s topic.
- For example, a fact that 75% of students own a cell phone doesn't directly support the statement that cell phones can be used as educational tools, but it does relate to the general topic of cell phones.
- Reliability: A website or text should be produced by a trustworthy source; it refers to the credibility of the source.
- A source containing bias would be unreliable.
- Bias may include: corporate ownership, confirmation bias, sociocultural bias etc.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
