I only allow them to use laptops for specific activities, then grade on participation. I know some school, including mine have a way of viewing what is being done on each laptop. VNC Thumbnail viewer, was the program that allowed me to watch all of their screens live from my computer at my desk. I had so much fun remotely closing tabs, and in a couple of cases logging them off when they were off task. They learned quick that they don't have the privacy they thought they did. Think Panopticon for the effect on the class.
