3. Is there anything missing from either list that you would include?

4. Is there anything from Power & Yang (2003) (checklist item, or evaluation methodology) that is not addressed by Chan (2011), but that you think should be?

5. Can you create a checklist of 10 key items that educators should examine when evaluating digital tools for knowledge construction?

Compare the checklists by Power & Yang (2003) and Chan (2011).
