I recommend showing them how to solve various types of problems that developers typically encounter, setting up a project in an IDE, cloning a repo and building it, finding API docs for the specific version being used, etc... That way they know how to get past roadblocks when they encounter them. I'm currently taking a class, which is not programming related, and it's maddening because the teacher and course material do a very poor job of covering the basics, so from my perspective as an outsider it is near impossible to figure out how everything relates. It's possible that your current students need a general overview of how all the pieces interrelate before they can internalize and build their own knowledge.
