Now that we have a bit more of the background story.

Forget the data projector altogether.

How about testing this: Set up VNC in it's shared, or broadcast, mode and
network every student's laptop to the teacher's laptop, which might have to
have a bit of grunt to serve a classroom full of student laptops.

In my exp. students get on better if they are looking at their own  computer
screen instead of at a data-projector.

Please keep us informed.
