Check http://www.voti.nl/cursus/e_index.html for my approach to learn
12-18 year old boys to use a 16f84.

Read http://www.voti.nl/swp before doing anything with PICs.

Forget the 16F84. Depending on your needs (A/D, number of pins, UART,
speed, memory) there are lots of PICs to choose from. If a 16F84 was OK
then a 16F630 will probably do an it is much cheaper (I assume your
students fill fry some chips in the process).
