PE4_Dropbox-Student Account Set Up

For my RILS plan, I'm tweaking a current lesson plan in which my 8th graders create college highlight videos. Normally, I've been the only person who uses Dropbox and I give them access to the class account, but this time I want to incorporate them creating their own accounts and organizing the file folders to correspond with the project. You will see in the screenshots the process of setting up a student account. I'm using a pretend student.
Click on Create an account.

Tell students to enter their first and last names. It would be helpful if their email was a school email or a gmail account. Also tell students it's helpful to use the same password they use for everything at school so they won't forget it after long breaks.

In the top right hand corner is a link that says Back to Home. If you want students to have easy access to Dropbox without having to go to the website each time, then you can have them download the Dropbox app, but that isn't necessary, I found. 

This is the page that students should see with their email in the top right corner if they created their accounts correctly.
