Interacting with Technology

One of the things I  learned from this was that we must be careful that technology does not negate what we are wanting the students to actually take from the courses.  I have several students who are very tech savvy; however, the few that aren't are sometimes reluctant to engage in technology.  Any advice? I've had them join a personal group on Facebook and ask them questions to promote critical thinking skills.  I was just curious to see if anyone had this problem.  Thanks!

One thing I've noticed about technology in my teaching is an unwillingness to fail or not know something about technology in front of peers (especially young adult learners).  If the students that are 'technophobic' are encouraged and allowed to learn by their mistakes in a manner that removes them from the judgement of their peers, they will embrace it more readily.
