It considers how living within a digital world influences teacher identity and professionalism and is changing young people's lives. The book moves beyond the applied perspective of educational technology to engage with wider social and ethical issues of technology implementation and use of digital data within geography education. Situated at the intersection between research and practice, chapters draw on a wide range of theory to consider the role, adoption and potential challenges of a range of digital technologies in furthering geographical education for future generations. Bringing together academics from fields of geography, geography education and teacher education, it engages with four key themes within the digital world: Professional practice and personal identities ; Geographical sources and connections ; Geospatial technologies, and Geographical fieldwork. This is a crucial read for geographers, geography educators and geography teacher educators as well as those engaging with existing and new technologies to support geographical learning in the dynamic context of the digital world. It will also be of interest to any students, academics and policymakers wanting to better understand the impact of digital media on education"-- ER -
