to do this, i think it is a good idea to contrast cl and gui.
for instance, say you have a bunch of .txt files in a folder and want
to copy them to another folder. show them how you would have to
select the .txt using gui (either 1 by 1 or by sorting by extension, if
possible) and drag to the other folder ... or cp *.txt otherfolder/
this sort of concrete demo should make using the less familiar cl
approach more desirable. then of course, you create a few simple
exercises which they can try using gui and cl, so they have to problem
solve for themselves.
