Hi,

We have done as you are planning...it takes a little bit of time to set up but it seems to be working well.  I set up the email addresses and Apple IDs so I get an email when the students purchase an app using that account.  At the moment 5 students share each account and I've given them a list of what they must download although they are allowed to discuss ideas for apps & download those they all agree on.
