Technology for new teachers?

One of my roles as district technology and curriculum director is to lead our annual two-day New Teacher Institute. Educators new to our district learn about curriculum initiatives, spend time with a seasoned mentor, and connect with district and building personnel. I’ve struggled with the role technology should play during these two days. Should it be tool-centered—step-by-step tutorials of our primary management and instructional systems? Should it be totally avoided so that the new staff do not feel overwhelmed? The answer for us seems to lie somewhere in the middle.
