Last time I taught bash, I opened an explorer/finder/nautilus window along with terminal. when i 'cd' to a directory, I explicitly said (and did) 'this is the same as double clicking a folder'.
Although having a 'live' nautilus window to follow your bash commands is nice, having a separate window slows you down and makes you re-iterate definitions and what you are doing. I also like showing them a folder with 1000's of files in it, as a practice of using the wildcard to move files. You don't want to actually have the GUI draw the icons, things freak out.
