I believe that the program called "Carbon Copy Mac" would allow you to do what
you want.  I won two copies of it at a Mac Users group meeting (you need a copy
for each machine you want to run it on), and among other things the back of the
package says:

 * Let a number of Macintosh users view, from their own computers, a
   single remote Macintosh application.  Ideal for project 
   collaboration and training.
 * Compatible with Macintosh Plus, Mac SE, or Mac II family computers.

I only played around with a two Mac setup, but whatever I tried seemed to work
as I expected.  It is a commercial product, but I don't know what the pricing
is like.  I believe you can buy a package of 10 or 15 copies to save a good
deal of money.

What you would do is set up your own machine as the "host" computer.  What the
students would see is a separate "guest" window on their Macs, which would show
whatever you are doing on your machine.

action yourself to see if it does what you want...
