N2 - Geographical information systems as a spatial tools are parts of most dynam-ized topics in current science. They also have a fundamental impact on current landscape research, especially by means of analyzing of variable spatial-temporal conditions through current and historical cartographical and statistical sources. Raising landscape develop-ment and increasing use of new information and communication technologies complicates their implementation into education at secondary schools. New technologies are also core challenges for teachers (difficulties in teaching them) and for young pupils as well. An-other hedge is the (mostly very high) price. Our paper presents interactive educational pro-ject held at Institute of Geography, Faculty of Science at Masaryk university in Brno. We use results from research based on old maps as a platform for practical and dynamic GIS oriented presentation at secondary and primary schools. Focusing land use and cultural landscape changes makes possible to use interdisciplinary topics of non-traditional (dy-namic) GIS tools and connect presentation with current human and physical geographical themes as well as cartography, informatics, computer science/graphics and history. Cho-sen open source architecture enables quality, free of charge, dynamical unfolding and le-gal platform for deeper excursus into the spatial data work. Project includes DVD with presentation, free geodata sets and illustrative open source (or freeware) software as well as user guides. Paper shows dynamical use of GIS tools for basic introduction in to geoin-formatic applications, which are available for all students. It also illustrates cooperation through levels of primary, secondary and tertiary education which results in application of no-cost dynamic GIS tools in the educational process.
