When I do a workshop I try to have the first portion -- when I
talk and do the demonstration -- in a room without any terminals.
Then we take a break and regroup in the computer lab for the
hands-on portion.  This always is the better approach.  On those
occasions when I am forced to do the whole thing in the lab I
just turn every monitor off.  Of course, the students just turn
them on again...

I have heard of a system that allows the teacher to lock every
monitor to display what is in the teacher's screen (and then
unlock them so each student can do his/her thing).  But I can't
remember the name of the program.  I'll have to rummage through
a largish pile of papers here in my office.  Don't hold your
breath.  But bug me if you really want to know.
