PRESENTERS- please post and update 2010 Discussions

If you're a presenter, please post your participant information, session descriptions, etc under the "2010 Sessions" discussion. You should list the room, time, and date of your presentation to make it easier for people to find you. Also, under "tags", please use your session number. Thanks!

HERE ARE SOME DIRECTIONS
By creating a forum, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with you and others about the topic(s) of your session(s). Any replies to a forum discussion that you create will initiate an e-mail, sent to you, so you will know that you've received a comment.

When you sign up for the PETE&C Ning Network, a profile page is automatically created for you. Access your profile by clicking the "My Page" link in the menu bar. This page will let others see your profile, your photos, and any any posts that you have made. Attendees will be able to find your session discussions there, or by clicking on the "Session Discussions" link in "Quick Links!" box on the left-hand side of the Home page.

To create a forum discussion for a session(s):

1. Join the PETE&C Ning, or if you are already a member, Sign In.

2. Click on the "Forum" tab at the top of the page.

3. Click on the "Add a Discussion" link on the top right side, below the menu bar.

4. You are now ready to add a discussion!

• First, in the "Discussion Title" field, enter your "session code" followed by the title of your session. If you need your session code, it can be found online.
• Next, in the "Post" field, put your session date and time at the start of the field. Then add your session description in the same field.
• If you have online resources to share with attendees, please enter the address(es) in this field as well.
• From the drop-down field entitled "Category", be sure that "2010 Session Discussions" is selected.
• In the "Tags" field, type in your last name, a comma, and any other descriptive tags appropriate for your session(s). Click on the help button to the right of the field for more information about tags.
• If you have presentation materials that you want to upload, do that in the "Attach File(s)" fields.

5. Click the "Save Changes" box on the lower right side of the page.

CONGRATULATIONS! You've created a forum discussion for your session! Now, when you click on the "My Page" tab, in addition to your profile page, you will see your session discussion(s) on the lower left side under the "My Discussions" header.
