  The article dwells upon the Earth remote sensing data as one of the basic
directions of Geo-Information Science, a unique source of information on
processes and phenomena occurring in almost all spheres of the Earth geographic
shell (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, etc.). The authors argue that the
use of aerospace images by means of the information and communication
technologies involvement in the learning process allows not only to increase
the information context value of learning, but also contributes to the
formation of students' cognitive interest in such disciplines as geography,
biology, history, physics, computer science, etc. It has been grounded that
remote sensing data form students' spatial, temporal and qualitative concepts,
sensory support for the perception, knowledge and explanation of the specifics
of objects and phenomena of geographical reality, which, in its turn, provides
an increase in the level of educational achievements. The techniques of
aerospace images application into the modern school practice have been analyzed
and illustrated in the examples: from using them as visual aids, to realization
of practical and research orientation of training on the basis of remote
sensing data. Particular attention is paid to the practical component of the
Earth remote sensing implementation into the modern school practice with the
help of information and communication technologies.
