My cousin is a Philosophy professor and he says it's annoying to hear "tappity tap tap" all the time, even when he isn't saying anything or before class starts, you can tell people are using IM.
I say jam the wifi signal, set up an access point with a signal booster but don't have it attached to anything. I'm not sure if that will work but it's worth a try.

But there's lots of devices that cover that spectrum; it'd be cheaper to rip the transformer and magnetron out of an old microwave oven and energize that in the middle of the classroom. Use a pulse width modulator to step down the power by a few orders of magnitude if you're feeling generous enough to not cook your students. *note: Do not actually do this.

Each classroom had a lectern with PC and monitor built in which offered access to control the various room facilities.
