You are not going to hold the attention of a ninth grader with tech that they will never see in use outside your classroom.

Then this person should not work in IT.
And won't need the training the OP is talking about.

If they don't work in IT, they only need to learn how to use a mouse and keyboard.

Came to say this ---^

Lived in Miami and had many things stolen from my fenced in yard and many "false alarms" on my alarm system whenever I was out of the house after dark.

Got 2 puppies from the local animal shelter and voila, problems stopped...

Barking PUPPIES stopped it all...And when they got bigger and their barks were deeper, it was just a bonus that kept solicitors away as well...

Now, they're both 15 years old and sleep all the time and they deserve it.

Be a mensch. Rescue a puppy and save yourself a lot of hassle and get a buddy to hang out with as well...

One of the best decisions I ever made.
