I posted a workshop entitled 'helping children keep their finger on the place', some ideas from there might help. In regard to the poll question, what to do when a student begins to daydream, of course the proper answer is "it depends". I had some students who were very bright and they were paying full attention, and subsequently knew everything by heart, although they seemed to be daydreaming most of the time. Many times this student has a difficulty in reading or an eye issue and he therefore has had it after a few minutes. For this, the issue must be addressed. Then there might be a problem at home or a social problem with friends which is distracting them and they can't focus. If its none of the above, then I a private motivation program might be affective. Of course this is after the standard interventions were tried, like showing them the place, smiling at them, waving, standing next to them etc.
