摘要：The increasing interest in the educational potential of digital geomedia has heightened theneed for a better understanding of how the integration of this technology can be enhanced.Previous research has generated a great discussion about the reasons for the low levels ofdigital geomedia integration in educational contexts, despite its recognized pedagogicalinterest by teachers. Being teacher training largely mentioned as an essential tool to helpimproving digital geomedia pedagogical integration, after the training course is over, thequestion arises: Are teachers integrating this technology in their teaching practice? How?The most widely accepted conceptual framework for assessing the level of pedagogicaltechnology integration is TIM (Technology Integration Matrix). As result from an exchangeinitiative between previous research from CIDTFF (University of Aveiro) and the Instituteof Geoinformatics (University of Münster), a questionnaire is conceived, based on TIM´slevels, and applied to several case studies of German teachers who attended different kindsof teacher training courses related to digital geomedia. First results show a rather high levelof technology integration und positive correlations with the number of attended trainings.
