The morning session of this workshop is for any member of the CfA community interested in using WorldWide Telescope in teaching and outreach, especially for creating interactive "Guided Tours" that showcase their research.

Those who would like to actively participate in WWT Ambassador [activities this spring](/wwt/upcoming_events) should attend both the morning and afternoon sessions.

Please [RSVP here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHM2NTVJZGoyYU95UUh1eU9heFJNUFE6MA). If you would like to volunteer this spring but cannot make this workshop date, please [contact Pat](/wwt/users/patudom/contact) to make alternate plans for training.

**Session Details:**

*WWT Overview*   
We'll present the main features of WWT that Ambassadors should be aware of when using WWT in courses, giving demos at schools, community events like star parties, and other public presentations.

*Introductory Tour-Making Tutorial*   
We'll practice tour-making basics, including:

- How to manipulate slides
- How to insert images, text, and shapes
- How to animate images, text, and shapes
- How to include narration and music
- Things to consider when telling your story

*Classroom Ambassador Training*   
We'll review spring assignments and responsibilities, common misconceptions to help students avoid, and give guidelines and advice on working in the classroom. We invite returning Ambassadors to participate in this discussion.
