The integration of innovative technologies into historical education represents one of the most significant transformations in contemporary pedagogical practice, fundamentally reshaping how students engage with the past while creating unprecedented opportunities for developing historical thinking competencies. This article provides a comprehensive examination of technological integration in history teaching, establishing theoretical foundations rooted in constructivist learning theory, connectivism, and multimedia learning principles before systematically analyzing the pedagogical applications of diverse technological tools including digital archives and databases, interactive visualization technologies, virtual and augmented reality systems, artificial intelligence applications, and collaborative digital platforms. The investigation addresses methodological frameworks for effective technology integration, emphasizing the Technology Pedagogy and Content Knowledge model as an organizing framework while articulating principles for selecting, implementing, and evaluating technological interventions in historical instruction. Particular attention is devoted to how innovative technologies can enhance core historical thinking skills including source analysis, contextualization, multiperspectivity, and historical argumentation.
