The problem with using a single account for an entire class is the risk that any student can go and really screw somethings up on the account, like changing the password on everyone. The positives I see are that the entire class' projects are in a single place where everyone can see what the other students are doing. For our project, each student was given a randomly generated set of equations to solve. Since no one had the same exact problems, they were able to look at each other's solutions and modify them based on their own problems. Because my students have NO experience with programming or Sage, this scenario was a positive.
