| Description | Geoinformatics and cartography have become the important parts of many branches of science and economic functions of the society in the practical terms. People are clearly unable to use the technology at the right moment for selection or acquisition of the needed information. What is still virtually neglected is education in information and geo-information technologies for wide population. We often meet with a situation that can be defined, with a little exaggeration, as a clash between digital student and analogue teacher. Geography teaching can then be supported by cartography teaching We made reseach through czech teacher focused on using maps, digital maps on Internet and sattelite and air images in geographical lessons, we asked them about interests of using material of remote sensing, GIS practice and readiness to learn new thing.
