Dear Alan:
Because most of students use Windows, so my first step is let him/her
try some freeware or open source software but not need to format /
install.
MY Step 1:
I use this website
http://portableapps.com/
Teach them to use some freeware, like gimp, pidgin, eclipse, with USB
flash disk or in the directory.
or some good freeware like Clonezilla
http://clonezilla.org/
To help them backup or restore their PC not use Norton Ghost®. ^^
Step 2:
If they feel good with some application, like LibreOffice or
pidgin.....and the others.
I will suggest them to install in their WIndows.
Step 3:
Tell them, they can't bring their PC / Notebook to travel or
everywhere because it's too heavy.
^__^
We teach how to use SUSE Studio in Class, help them create their own
iso to create live CD or DVD
They love to use live CD / DVD at home or in class.
Some idea from my class ^^
Wish it's help for you
Best regards
Max

I upload some pictures at flickr ( http://www.flickr.com/groups/opensuse/pool/page2/ ) I am sorry about I didn't write any report to you. Orz............
At GNOME.Asia 2011, we use GNOME3 with openSUSE iso ( http://www.gnome3.org/tryit.html ), and isohybird command to create usb linux for people.
Just two simple steps.
Step 1: # isohybrid xxxopenSUSExxx.iso
( isohybird command is include in syslinux package)
Step2:
# cat xxxxopenSUSExxx.iso > /dev/sdx
( /dev/sdx is the usb device)

When you teach Linux, can you give me an idea of the topics that you cover?
