Suggested Agendas are to be used as a guide for what to cover during workshops of various lengths.

Trainer's Scripts are step-by-step instructions for trainers during a workshop, including what to demonstrate, what to say, things to remember, and how to answer common questions. You may refer back to it during the workshop, and use the checkboxes in the left column to check off topics as you cover them. Read the script in its entirety at least two days before the workshop.

Introductory presentations are these slides at the beginning of your workshop to introduce your trainees to Google's Geo products, and to introduce them to several concepts at the beginning of the workshop.

Technique Tours are collections of Google Earth projects created by non-profit and public benefits groups that serve as examples of various techniques available in Google Earth.

Workbooks are for use by your workshop attendees -- you may print the workbook and bind them, or simply give the attendees a link to it on a Google Sites page.

Videos for Demonstrations

Movies are great for demonstrations if you are traveling to areas with little or no Internet connectivity.
