As a Teacher, how can I invite my students if they don't have an Email?
Here is a trick in order to go around the fact that some students may not have or cannot have an Email address:
Create a gmail account, like "aa.teacher@gmail.com".
Then, have each student register to Thinglink with "aa.teacher+1@gmail.com", "aa.teacher+2@gmail.com", or "aa.teacher+anne@gmail.com", "aa.teacher+kirk@gmail.com", or whatever you can think of.
This gives them separate accounts, but all the email would go to "aa.teacher@gmail.com". In most email services you can create these "+" aliases which appear as a separate address, but in reality they all point to the same address.
