Depending upon the machine & installed memory, and number of students
you might want to look into install NX[1]. There is a free windows
client, uses ssh, is considerably fast, and gives each their own desktop.

Try it on a machine or two yourself first; just download:

 http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=1978

Download: client, node, server and doubleclick the debs to install (in
that order). For the Window machine:

Of course, download & read the documentation for management, added
security settings, etc:

etc.
