Let's GO GREEN, save the trees (and save your back from lifting heavy luggage filled with pages and pages of handouts), and START UPLOADING CONTENT!
We are working hard to make it fun and easy to share
information and network this year with Poken.
By now, you should already have received an email from Poken with log-in
information. If not, you can contact
Kristin at Poken; her email is kristin@poken.com
Once you have logged into your Poken account and updated
your profile, you are ready for the next step in making your session a great
success with your audience.

After login, you will see a screen that looks similar to
this: (figure 2)

Under the “Manage” heading, select “Manage Objects”
When you are in the “Manage Objects” screen, you should see
an object listed in the left column for each session you are presenting. If, not please contact Lori Swim (lswim@g.emporia.edu). Select the object you wish to populate with
data.
Once you have selected an object from the left column, your
screen will look similar to the following:
The form is fairly self-explanatory. You may enter a description of your session.
You may also add URLs and upload files of all kinds. If you upload an image, then it will populate
the “object’s thumbnail.” This thumbnail
image is useful for giving your object a “visual label” in someone’s
timeline. If you upload multiple images,
select one primary image.
Make sure to click “Save” in the lower bottom right corner
after every change, to make sure your changes are not lost.
When you present your session, to share information, simply
show your attendees the QR code associated with your populated “object” or you
can also present them with the URL. If
they scan the QR code with a Poken app, the object will be added to their
timeline and object library for future reference (as long as you leave the
“Sharing” box checked).
Thank you for your attention and enjoy using your Poken
networking and information-sharing tool!
