At the Utah State workshop this week we tried out a different approach (at least compared to what I've seen in the past) to teaching the collaboration section of the git lesson. We had two instructors at the front of the room and each instructor did their piece of the collaboration demonstration on their own computer and then passed the projector cord back and forth with the other instructor when it was time for them to do the other part of the collaborative workflow.

This seemed to work really well for helping students keep track of who was supposed to be doing what when, as we didn't end up with the kinds of confusion I've seen before where paired students get confused about which parts of the exercises they are supposed to be doing.
