What are Student Accounts and what are they for?
Student accounts are designed to help educators enroll their students into the edCenter without use of email invitations. Additional safeguards have been added to these accounts such that their activities online are confined within the edCenter only. That way, they can work on their book projects in a secluded, online environment.
With the use of student accounts, founder of an edCenter can add students to its edCenter without requiring their students to have email addresses. All student accounts are linked to the founder. As a result, all communications from Bookemon to the student account members will be via the email address of the founder.

How to Create Student Accounts?
Student Accounts can be created by a founder of an edCenter by using the Manage Student Accounts feature on the right section. Several students can be added as members at a time with nicknames and a common password. Once successfully added, the student can log into their own edCenter account by entering their Student Account login name and password. (Please give your students both login name and password in writing or in person.)
