Well... you can look at their motivation for learning certain stuff.

Ask them questions on what do they plan to accomplish on using that particular technology and ask them questions in a tactful manner on what are the prerequisite to make this work.

Instead of giving them a solution directly, I think that letting them look at what is needed so that they can answer their own questions is the best.

Since you may not have the best answers so by encouraging them to search for themselves can be a good thing as they help you to grow as well through this type of interaction.
