摘要：Using technology in a range of forms to deliver teaching materials, and support student learning, is common practice in undergraduate degree programmes, but is often undertaken without full knowledge of students’ technical ability, attitudes to technology, and what personal technologies they have access to. This article reports a questionnaire survey examining the relationships between teaching, learning and technology from the perspective of first and second year Geography undergraduates. Key conclusions are that (1) students need to be introduced to a range of technologies, and their applications, as soon as possible; and (2) technologies that are seen as extensions into the personal life, and personal space, of students (such as mobile phones and mp3 players), should be used within prescribed limits. Locating the engagement of geographical ideas within students’ everyday life experiences can be achieved when using personal technologies in appropriate ways.
