The rapid digital transformation of contemporary education has profoundly reshaped the ways geography can be taught and learned. This article examines the pedagogical significance of integrating digital and mobile technologies into secondary school geography lessons, building upon the theoretical and practical insights of Walshe and Healy (2020), de Miguel González and Rivero Gracia (2018), France et al. (2015), and the 2025 framework on digital fieldwork enhancement. Drawing on these works, the article argues that digital tools—such as geospatial technologies, mobile applications, and virtual fieldwork platforms—support deeper conceptual understanding, enhance spatial thinking, and strengthen the link between theory and practice. Practical implications for teachers in Uzbekistan, particularly in G‘uzor district, are provided to demonstrate how digital solutions can enhance curriculum delivery in resource-constrained environments.
