Digital Portfolio Instructions

Hello students!

Today, we are creating digital portfolios for Theatre Dance! If you have a Gmail account, you can skip to the second step. We will use these portfolios to track and reflect on our progress throughout the school year.


Make sure that you are working in Google Chrome (type Chrome in Launchy).
  1. Create a Gmail account.
    1. Type in gmail.com to the address bar.
    2. In the top right, click Create An Account.
    3. Fill in the information, and click next step.
    4. If needed, verify your account with a text message sent to your phone.
  2. Create digital portfolio (Video instruction).
    1. Make sure you are signed into Google.
    2. Click the 9 boxes at the top right of your gmail screen.
    3. Select Drive.
    4. On the left side of the screen, click Create > Presentation
    5. A new window will appear.  You can choose your theme now, or you can change it later.
    6. Change the title of the document to the class period you are in, your last name, and "Portfolio."
      1.  For example, if I were in first hour and my last name were Smith, mine would read 1.Smith.Portfolio
    7. Share the presentation with me.
      1. Click the blue Share button in the top right.
      2. Under Add People, type rpstheatredance@gmail.com
      3. Then click Done.
  3. Create slides for the portfolio.
    1. Slide 1 - Title Slide
      1. This should be a reflection of who you are. I want to see a snapshot of our life. You can use personal photos or images from the Internet. Aim for at least 15 images.
    2. Slide 2
      1. Table of Contents
        1. You can leave this slide blank for now. We will fill it in as the year continues. To start, you could list:
          1. Slide 3 - Class Mission
          2. Slide 4 - Class Goals
    3. Slide 3
      1. Class Mission
        1. RHS - we haven't created ours yet, but we will soon.
        2. HHS - Please copy and paste your class's mission to your slide (add a picture!)
          1. 6th Hour - Within a non-judgmental environment, if we stay determined and positive, we can become a productive team.
          2. 7th Hour - The purpose of 7th hour theatre dance is to express ourselves through movement in a positive, non-judgmental, and encouraging environment. We will be patient, respectful, open-minded, cooperative, and supportive of each other!
    4. Slide 4
      1. Individual goal 
        1. Write your goal(s) for the year on this slide.
