The so-called “digital revolution” is not only a technological, but at the same time, a social and cultural phenomenon. This article introduces concepts of digital culture and provides an overview on related geographic research from a social science perspective. Against this background, conclusions for current geography education are two-fold: fi rstly, in the sense of the digitization/digitalization of the practice of teaching. Secondly, the study of the geographies of digital culture may provide new potential topics for the geography curricula.
