Resumen

This article aims to explore the limits and possibilities of digital educational resources (DERs) such as Google Earth, Google Sites, Padlet, digital maps, and gamified activities. We also analyze how they can contribute to providing a geographic education that sparks students' interest and attention, motivating them to study through more dynamic, playful, and engaging classes. Our goal is to see students engaged and committed to geographic education. We recognize that information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly present in schools. However, our discussion centers on the following issue: How can ICTs be used most effectively to promote a transformative, dynamic, and playful geographic education that is committed to students' unique learning needs and that sparks their interest, engagement, and motivation to learn geographic content? Regarding methodological procedures, we developed and/or adapted the DERs used in the classes and analyzed their results in light of authors who discuss the topic at hand. The results demonstrate that these resources offer both potential and some limitations, depending on the lesson objectives, and all of them can significantly contribute to channeling students' attention, enthusiasm, and engagement in Geography classes.
