This project is based, to use the inverted design as a methodological strategy to reach a lasting understanding (great idea), through which students can develop educational skills using the Information Technology and Communication, which is transferred to different areas of knowledge.
For students, the inverted design strategy results in a performance task.
Performance Task draws students:

In each quarter of the subject of Geography of Mexico and the world is assigned a different task performance, however, that projection has been taken to an international forum (International Society of Technology in Education) has been that is from the third section of the agenda.
digital maps in the contemporary era (GeoCity and digital maps), is a performance task that involves the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) developed by the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics), GIS is a software program called IRIS (Information Referenced geospatially Integrated System).
GeoCity and digital maps is a school project comprises 5 stages:
1. Defining the problem.
2. Contingency and vulnerability of the population.
3. Diagnosing the problem using IRIS.
4. Proposals to solve the problem.
5. Report on proposals that provide solutions to the problem.
GeoCity and digital maps promotes on the one hand higher thinking skills XXI century and secondly, the actual geographical skills. This project plans to work collaboratively, not only among students - teacher, but with government officials, researchers and other institutions to share information to find solutions to common problems.
prepare students in these digital tools will strengthen their skills for life. To do this, teachers also need to implement and assimilate the skills needed to encourage students in the achievement of ever higher and more human.
Introduction
The continuous transformation of nature and society in the world, as well as progress in scientific research and technology, geography facing the challenge of providing better training to young people of basic secondary education, for:
