The INEE Technology Task Team is pleased to announce the launch of the
ICT Inventory for Education in Emergencies!
ICT Inventory for Education in Emergencies!
About
The ICT Inventory is an interactive, online database of technology resources for delivering quality education in emergencies. The ICT Inventory curates technology tools that are, or can be, used to deliver education, as well as projectswhere education technology is used in crisis contexts.
While other education and edtech portals exist, the ICT Inventory fills a gap with its focus on education in emergencies; and it is unique in its crowdsourced nature, responsive and interactive design, and comprehensive categorization structure.
The goal of the ICT Inventory is to make it easy to find and share useful tools and real world examples of technology use in crisis contexts.
