Hi Karin,
Here's a presentation that I've given a number of times with very
effective results: http://www.slideshare.net/willingc/yes-you-can-git
It's designed for complete beginners to open source. The first section
focuses heavily on understanding that: 1) git is a tool and GitHub is a
service; 2) the logical understanding of what local and remotes
represent as well as origin and upstream. I've found that if students
can start with a concrete understanding of the concept of git that the
quirky jargon is not so confusing.
Feel free to use whatever inspires.
Warmly,
Carol
