Abstract: Our daily lives are increasingly dominated by new technology. 90% of youngsters between the ages of 14-19 years use mobile phones and the internet several times a week and thus develop their own images of the world. A responsible school has to address this development as well as other current social developments. For geography education in particular, field work is considered beneficial in developing students’ spatial orientation. Experiencing the world “outside” extends many facts that one learns from the text book. Taking these preliminary considerations into account, this paper approaches tablet-based field work in geography classes by combining both beneficial and impeding factors of using technical devices in class. An example of tablet-based field work on a field trip to Berlin will be presented in order to show to what extent tablets can enhance geographic field work.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from
the early adoption of technical wizardry to the
ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The
emergence of a GISociety is on its way through
technological development, theoretical and empirical
scientific research and inclusion of technology
into education with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to
further enhance the GISociety with new geospatial
innovations.
