Abstract

Education information society in the 21st century requires new teaching approaches which will effectively promote the development of learning skills. The ability to find, analyse, critically evaluate and rationally use different information’s is one of the key pillars of learning competences for the future. If we want to make a difference in the educational system, which will be followed by the up to date society, we must also enforce and modify forms and methods of teaching work, teaching aids (ICT) as well as teachers' training courses. In the article we present some features of interactive whiteboards in geography lessons as it represents a relatively new technology in Slovenian schools. ICT education equipment in schools will be presented as well as opinions of Slovenian geography teachers about their strengths and weaknesses as well as problems which they face in teaching geography. Their diverse personal experiences are an important guideline in designing future geography teachers training courses.
