using the same account on multiple chromebooks?

[MNWTech]

What problems will we have if we login with the same account to 20 chromebooks?  We are adding about 20 to each elem. classroom and want only one account for the 3rd grade, one account for the 2nd grade, etc.  They may be used simultaneously.  Thanks.  We have added 300 to the grades 4-6 without problem but use individual accounts with them.

I think your biggest problem will be in using documents.  Naming is going to be incredibly confusing.  As kids will want to use the same name for everything.  I would suggest creating accounts for your students.  We have individual accounts for 1st graders, and after the first couple times logging in there never seems to be a problem.

Yeah, I think the issue you'll run into is doing anything related to docs, etc. We are deploying a set for two 5th grade classes and I would not even want to deal with one account for almost 50 students...personal preference.

Out of curiosity, why not create accounts for them? The purpose of GAFE is sharing, collaboration, engagement, just to name a few items.

Maybe my question should be, why does the teacher not want to do it?
