Graphing Calculators

Probably one of the hardest things to teach to students is how to use a graphing calculator. Today I tried to introduce how to use the trace, window, and tables in a graphing calculator. Even with the use of the document camera, students still have issues following along step by step. Some of the issues are with error messages and some of them are with lack of willingness to try. Most of the students that paid attention did see some success with the graphing calculator activity. Even going through step by step with these forms of technology as aid, how do we help the unmotivated?
