Debate Final failures

Today in Speech and Debate,  our class spent the third day in the computer lab researching their debate topics. Their task is to work in partners and perform a full length debate (8 minute constructions, 5 minute rebuttals). Of the 17 students in class, two have their head down, four are playing games, and only a few are actually working. I am so disappointed in the effort of certain students. Maybe my expectations are not clear? Maybe I need to give them more structured lessons? Maybe technology alone is not motivating enough?
