We can push out different SSID's with ACL's that limit what an authenticated user can access.
However, our AP heatmap shows leakage from AP's above and below the floors where the classroom are. So, in a nutshell, it wasn't worth it (blocking that is). Especially true once you incorporate emergency notification via 802.11x. I would agree with other colleagues comments, it's an academic/classroom/Professor issue. Northeastern, I believe, did not roll out 802.11x in the classrooms, because the Professors did not want it. The idea behind this decision was "you don't need wifi to take notes".

I would like to know which blockers are being used with success to do this? Can somebody tell me which is the best and cheaper solution (something so easy as turn a switch on/off)?
