Peter Simmons of U. of British Columbia asked how I had the ability
to turn off students' monitors when teaching the use of the internet
when each student could access from his or her desk.

I just checked this out with our computer services and was told that
the room was wired so that each monitor has a wire which connects it
to the switch in the front of the room which the instructor has access
to.  There is no special hardware of softare involved.  An analogy is
having all of the monitors in the room plugged into one power strip
and having the instructor in the front of the room have power to turn
the power strip off or on.

Pretty simple and inexpensive, actually.
