Nicholas,
While I personally feel this is more of a behavioral issue to solve
opposed to a technical one, one option would be to install APs in the
restricted classrooms broadcasting the same ESSID as you do outside
the classroom. This would (likely) be the strongest available signal
for the students, and their device(s) would (likely) connect to these
APs. You could invoke specific firewall policies for users on these
APs to be different. For example, you could redirect all traffic to a
captive portal instructing them that use of wireless during class is
prohibited . . . or something to that effect.
Just an idea.

I’m compiling research to give to our Faculty Technology Committee.
My question is has anybody successfully implemented a solution that
restricts access to wireless internet in classrooms?
Also if you have tried and were not successful in restricting
wireless access in classrooms let me know. Why didn’t the solution
work.
No opinions please about how students can just go buy a mobile
broadband card from a cellular carrier, or installing microwaves in
the classrooms, or that teaching techniques should improve.
