This article examines the issues of improving the methodology of teaching geography based on the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and modern pedagogical approaches. The study analyzes the didactic potential of using digital maps, geographic information systems — specifically the Google Earth and ArcGIS platforms. In addition, the article substantiates methods for developing students' spatial thinking, critical and analytical reasoning, and independent learning competencies through the integration of problem-based learning, the project method, and interactive techniques with ICT. The significance of introducing innovative technologies into geography education within the framework of digital education concepts promoted by UNESCO is revealed. The findings demonstrate that the integration of ICT and pedagogical technologies is a key factor in enhancing the effectiveness of geography lessons, visualizing the educational process, and developing students' practical research skills.
