Most teachers graduated before the popularization of technological media in school. The lack of a continuous and adequate supply creates great difficulty in working with this teaching resource. The media technology represent an extraordinary resource for teaching geography classes, however in order this tool can be really useful, teachers need to have the full control not only on the technology but also on the methodology of teaching. So it is a evident the necessity of teaching qualification to the fruitful use of new digital media.
