I would suggest looking at IOctave (Octave Kernel of IPython)

https://github.com/blink1073/octave_kernel

And generally look as https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Projects-using-IPython

> This isn't a critical issue, but I think the notebook would look nicer this way. The students will not use the notebook themselves. This is just to to make my presentation a little more lively instead of just showing static code on a slide.

I would suggest having a look at Damian Avila Live reveal mode also to do your presentation:
