Wikipedia limits the number of accounts registered from a single IP address per day. Your computer lab or the WiFi network at your school may funnel your entire class through a small number of IP addresses, so if everyone attempts to register on the same day, you could trigger the limit.
If this happens, you can do one of two things:
Note: It appears that the second option no longer works.
Your second suggestion doesn't actually work. My students just tried registering for their accounts using the alternative Wikimedia sites, and they still encountered the same issue. Is it possible to create an exception to the limitation for school IP addresses participating in Wikiedu?
