The use of computers to improve teaching and learning in geography is beset by many problems, and surrounded by many misconceptions. Although computer hardware has penetrated most geography departments in recent years, its use as a mainline teaching resource remains at a low level. This paper argues that despite the difficulties, computers can make a real contribution to almost every type of teaching method and most subject areas of geography in higher education. Some current practices and future possibilities are reviewed, and some of the problems with using the computer as an educational tool are discussed. In conclusion, some principles are proposed for effective treatment of the computer as a teaching resource
