I usually keep listening, because my future depends on how well I do in school. I'd rather not be working at Mc.Donald's or doing physical labor.

I use either my computer, or more recently, my Droid and surf the net for a bit.

I just space out, and think about other stuff. The only thing that brings me out of it is the teacher calling on me, or me think that they called on me, then realizing that I spaced out.

I think a lot of people will say browse the internet. But, I know someone will come with some sarcasm and say masterbate.

Download Shatter for the PC, it is addicting to play in class but you don't get to listen to the awesome music.

I usually just zone out. Sometimes I doodle on my notebook or just write down the random thoughts in my head. It makes for an interesting notebook page when I'm finished and can't remember why some things are there.

I usually try my best to listen. Most of the time when I am bored, I usually tap on something and/or look down.

I try to keep listening but if I really can't concentrate then my mind sometimes wanders and I just think about whatever, usually video games.

I used to doodle in my notes - make caricatures of my teachers/professors.  
Now I teach high school, so . . . I guess I just keep on lecturing :)  Kick a few desks to wake up other sleepyheads.

I don't mean to but sometimes I just can't focus and start daydreaming.
When I have my friends in the lesson though I just talk to them and make jokes about the stuff I'm learning so that I can remember it better.

I make weird eye contact with my classmates or surf the web on my phone. There's only one class I take where there are computers in front of us, that's when I go on YouTube and look at montages or play First Person Tetris. Now that I have been accepted as a Game Design student at a "Høyskole" (tertiary education institution in Norway) that does not require anything more than the completion of the secondary education (in other words, I only need to pass and attend classes for a couple more months), I really do not pay attention anymore.

I'm a middle school teacher, so I guess I continue to teach during boring lectures since I'm the one giving them.

Doodle, make a paper-doll zombie, daydream.

In a class I will participate actively and try to steer the conversation towards controversial topics. It usually works. Many teachers are money grubbing slouches, and rarely get a chance to prove their mental prowess. They will jump if given the opportunity.

Pretty much this. I'm not in college yet so it's very uncommon for us to have laptops during class. If I'm in a computer class I'll just browse google news while I get lectured on business ethics.

Draw, draw, and draw some more. Through all of my education drawing has been my weapon of choice against the greatest foe... boredom.
