"Opportunities for developing innovative approaches in teaching and
learning geography have been rapidly increasing in recent years. This is
in part because of the spread of new technologies that allow access to
geographic information and geographic geo-media resources. These new
tools offer broad access to information and open data sources. They have
revolutionised the way in which teachers of geography can work with
pupils and students. "Education for Digital Earth" is now possible. As
such, the exclusive use of traditional approaches to the teaching of
geography is no longer reasonable today. The European Commission-funded
network initiative, digital-earth.eu, promotes innovation and best
practices in the implementation of geo-media as a digital learning
environment for school learning and teaching. This book, supported by
EUROGEO, analyses the main challenges facing geographical education –
curriculum, methodology, teacher education and training and geospatial
technologies – and illustrates different examples of the use of
geoinformation in geographical education in several European countries."
