The integration of emerging technologies--Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and digital learning platforms--is transforming geography education by enhancing engagement, interactivity, and personalized learning. Emerging technologies are transforming the landscape of education, offering innovative ways to engage students and enhance learning experiences in geography. AI facilitates adaptive learning through intelligent tutoring systems, automated assessments, and data-driven insights into student performance. VR/AR technologies immerse students in interactive, 3D geographical environments, facilitating a deeper understanding of spatial relationships, terrain, and cultural contexts. VR/AR provides immersive, experiential learning by simulating real-world geographical environments, enabling students to explore complex spatial concepts interactively. Digital learning platforms offer collaborative tools, geospatial data visualization, and remote access to resources, makinggeography education more accessible and dynamic. These technologies allow students to experience places and phenomena that would otherwise be inaccessible, making learning more engaging and impactful. Digital learning platforms, on the other hand, facilitate seamless access to a variety of resources, fostering collaboration, self-paced learning, and global connectivity. Together, these technologies promote deeper comprehension of geographical phenomena, foster critical thinking, and prepare students for a technology-driven world. However, challenges such as accessibility, teacher training, and ethical considerations must be addressed to maximize their potential. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of these technologies in geography education, highlighting their role in shaping future learning paradigms. It explores how the integration of AI, VR/AR, and digital platforms in geography education enhances cognitive skills, promotes experiential learning, and prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century.
