Training English Teachers on "integrating Technology into Teaching." What trainings need to precede this training?

I was providing staff development for English language teachers in another country.   I feel very comfortable training on integrating technology into the classroom teaching and had a session on this.   It went well, but I felt like something wasn't quite right.   They needed something before they jumped into integrating technology.   I have my own ideas but I am interested in what you have to say.

Hello! If I am mistaken before we get in to integrated technology training I think we must first give chances for the teachers to evaluate the manual / traditional methods of teaching. We must make them to know the shortcomes and strengths of the old method. Then introduce the new tech integrated way. In addition we must give them insighs about basic electrical and computing concepts. Thankyou for asking the question.

Yes, I agree and that is why I think that I jumped to quickly to this level of training.  I think that they just needed other trainings to prepare them to ask "Why so we need to use technology in our lessons?"
