This presentation provided an overview of how information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used to support adventurous pedagogy and a "living geography" approach in the classroom. The presenter outlined several web tools like blogs, social bookmarking, and Google Earth that can engage students in active, investigative learning. Examples of teachers incorporating video, mobile devices, and alternative maps into lessons were also shared. The goal was to connect ICT use to developing students' geographical thinking and understanding of the real world.
