It would be helpful to introduce GitHub account creation for users.

It would be recommended for Microsoft to create a user-friendly document to help teachers’ setup their account and student GitHub accounts. For example, usernames in GitHub are limited. And students must have an email address to have a GitHub account. A teacher new to GitHub would require some level of knowledge of GitHub before having student’s setup their accounts.

They really need a teacher control panel.... to create accounts without e-mail addresses, to enforce private repositories and private profiles, or no profiles, to reset passwords. Otherwise, using Github with Arcade could raise privacy issues that require parental permission.
