Abstract
The chapter provides a summary of the various perspectives presented in this edited book volume and provides some additional concluding thoughts. The theoretical perspectives and contemporary issues and research on the topics of teaching and learning using ICT will be reiterated and explored further in the context of NIE and Singapore. There are also several chapters in the book that describe the advantages of integrating the two approaches for teaching and learning geography . The concluding chapter will end off with a critical commentary and some recommendations on the ways that teaching and learning beyond the traditional classroom can be conducted.
