It's an interesting idea. I'm not sure how to work it though. You could google using steemit in the classroom because i feel like others on here have tried to use steemit with their students in the past but I'm blanking on who it was.

Does steemit still put people on a waiting list when they want to join? I remember signing my husband up for an account and being put on a waiting list that lasted months. If the waiting list is an issue that means you may have problems getting your students signed up.
