There was a software company that was located in Milwaukee, I beleive it may have been sold to HP and moved to the east coast, but it was called Discourse Technologies and it was specifically used to monitor classroom activity so that each child was linked with the teacher and could answer questions etc. This gave the teacher the ability to know what the student was doing. I assume this may work with existing hardware although I believe they marketed their product to include the hardware, probably worth checking into, I remember good write-ups about the company in the local papers.
