Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are not only a technology are primarily a development direction of current geography with major impact on the applicability of this science, becoming the meaning by which geography participates to the current scientific and technical revolution. In our country GIS it is present only in a few curriculum, despite the global trends. However GIS can bring a number of benefits such as: an important role in education reform, acquiring specific skills, applicative character, and interdisciplinary. Learning GIS concepts can be performed by a conventional method in university or using alternative methods such as: virtual class's online, video tutorials available on YouTube, accessing online help libraries, participating in blogs and forums conducted by the user community. The question that interests us is primarily what resources are needed and what steps need to be taken for integration of GIS in geography classes in a high school for example. To find out the opinion of students from the Touristic Geography from Bistrita extensions regarding the use of GIS in geography faculties, a questionnaire was applied regarding on geospatial technology and have been proposed several methods of training, specific training with the help of the computer. We propose a series of steps for a project for teaching geography using ArcGIS platform. For a project of this kind we have to plane a series of educational activities that involve a gradual complexity of students who work. Geography didactic principles along with those specific to GIS form the basis of lesson plans, of tutorials and presentations made in this research.
