The issue you might come up against if you do try to use VNC with Linux clients is that the VNC server under Linux works in a very different way from the Windows VNC server. Whilst the Windows VNC server allows the remote viewer to observe activity going on on the Windows desktop, the Linux VNC server is more similar to the X server based model. Log into a Linux based VNC server and you don't see a duplicate of the desktop that the user is working on, rather a separate instance of the default desktop environment of the user that started the VNC server. So you wouldn't be able to see what your pupils are up to.... :(
