Sharing X Sessions

[Joel Feiner]

You will probably want to use VNC.  VNC allows view-only sessions as
well as regular sessions.  One option is to use just a plain old X for
the instructor and run x11vnc on that session and have the students
connect to that from their machines.  A good package to use is tightvnc.
 You can download from their website, or perhaps your distribution has
it in its package manager.
