Pokens

10/22/2012

0 Comments

 
I will be heading the 2012 AECT conference in Louisville, KY next week and they will be using Pokens at the conference this year. I had never heard of pokens before reading AECT President-elect Marcus Childress' blog post "What is a Poken?" I received an email today with my Poken account information and immediately began to edit my profile.

When I arrive at the AECT conference I will receive a USB device that uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. I can then link my Poken account with the Poken device by plugging it into my computer and syncing the two. Then as I meet people or attend sessions I can exchange contact information or receive presentation materials by holding my Poken close to their Poken or Poken tag to retrieve the data through NFC technology.

This sounds like a great way to maintain a professional network. Now,  I do not have to worry about losing business cards or paying extra money for my overweight luggage (due to conference materials) on the return flight.

    My journey in the field of education began back in the classrooms of my youth. I can remember helping peers in math class when they did not understand how the teacher presented material. The path has lead to many different arenas and I have grown as a person and as a professional with each new experience. Pursuing a doctoral degree is an exciting time and new doors are opening each day. I enjoy being a lifelong learner!
