This one-hour hands-on webinar will guide you through the process of preparing a Google Earth presentation for a Planning Commission meeting.

Topics will include locating site photographs, georeferencing a site plan, creating a project tour and preparing for your presentation.

At the APA 2008 National Conference, Planetizen webinar instructor Chuck Donley and Durango, Colorado's Planning Director presented this session on the Virtual Staff Report. Over 500 attendees learned about Google Earth applications for planning professionals. Join the Planetizen webinar and learn how to integrate Google Earth into your next presentation.

You will be able to work concurrently on Google Earth throughout the session. The instructor will demonstrate each step twice – once while you watch the webinar, and a second time while you optionally perform the task yourself.
