So just give up, don't learn it. Make your students learn it. In fact, give them chances to explore and create with these tools and let your students evaluate the effectiveness of them. Thats actually a part of the Digital Literacy skills embedded in the Common Core.

Even by being a self-proclaimed incompetent techy, you can still teach the digital literacy skills.

Get to it.
