Face to face:
先生：あなたはどなたですか。
田中：私は田中ですよ。
In the class/office with a group of people:
先生：田中はどなたですか。
田中：私が田中です。

That is precisely how you use it!
(Since どなた is nice and polite, it would sound better if you added さん to 田中 in the second example.)

If I may ask a question using your good examples, in which situation can Tanaka simply say 田中です without the pronoun + particle? This may look like a dull question but it should actually teach you something about は/が from a different perspective.
