Students without emails

[Jen Detmar]

Maybe the answer is in front of my face, but I'm just not finding it...

Seeking advice on how to set up students who do not have email.  I'm working with younger students who do not have access to their own email accounts yet.  How do I implement projects in Scratch without setting up separate accounts for each student?  Is there a way to have different student accounts attached to mine?  Can I have multiple computers signed in to my account at the same time so that they can just post with unique names?

Thanks for any advice for how you have made this work already!

Yes I wanted to do this also. Our students do actually have emails but it isn't possible to enroll them in bulk. Plus you need to know their d.o.b. I wanted to upload a csv file and be able to manage their accounts.

We sometimes used an generic email account r...@gmail.net....the program is looking for the email pattern not an actual email (unless that changed)...Sorry Media Lab

Is that true? That would be wonderful.

In fact, I cannot remember any email from the Scratch web site for email verification or something.

On the other hand I think it is very important that students have an account so they can upload their projects connect with others and receive feedback. That is now a must if they are using v.2.0 but when using v.1.4 students that didn't create an account just lost half or more of the Scratch experience. Sharing an account is also a bad idea.
