IgnitePanel by Hatch™ makes it easy to save work samples and transfer them to Teaching Strategies GOLD®. You can follow the steps below to upload work samples to GOLD.
Note: The following steps require your class portfolio to be configured. To learn how to do this, please see Adding Child Portfolios to Your IgnitePanel.
- After your children complete the IgnitePanel activity in RM Easiteach, select the "e" menu icon, then click Save in the drop-down.
- Find the appropriate child portfolio folder to save the work sample to a specific child. Name the file, and save it as one of the following formats: JPG, PNG, or PDF. These are the only file types that GOLD will accept.
- RM Easiteach will ask if you want to save the current page or all pages. Select the option that's best for you.
- Once the file is saved, you can log in to Teaching Strategies GOLD directly on your IgnitePanel device. Note: If you prefer to use Teaching Strategies GOLD on a separate device, then you will need to complete another step and transfer the files using a flash drive. You'll find the files in your Documents under the Classroom Portfolio-[Your Name] folder.
- Click Add Documentation in the upper left-hand corner. On this page, click the grey box with the cloud-arrow icon to find and upload your work sample.
- You will find your work samples in your Documents, in the folder called "Classroom Portfolio [Your Name]." Find the child folder with the work sample you want to upload, select the file, and click Open.
- After uploading the file, you can select the objectives the sample demonstrates and the children involved in the activity. You can also add notes. Click one of the save options in the upper right-hand corner to ensure that your work sample gets documented.
