This is no less true in humanitarian and refugee contexts where technology is being used in myriad ways to connect teachers and learners with educational content and resources. A recent landscape review (Dahya, 2016) about the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in these contexts stated that technology has the potential to support education for marginalized populations in crisis contexts, and that teacher training and student learning are the primary areas of focus for utilizing technology for education. In many settings, technology is used for the provision of lesson plans and curricula to deliver subject knowledge directly to students, to train or certify teachers, and to connect individuals and build community (Dryden-Peterson, Dahya, and Douhaibi, 2017; Power, 2012; Winthrop and Smith, 2012). Modes of delivery include computers, laptops, tablets, portable media players, e-readers, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones (Burns, 2011; Carlson, 2013; Winthrop and Smith, 2012; Dahya, 2016).}, language = {en}, number = {2}, urldate = {2020-04-27}, journal = {Current Issues in Comparative Education}, author = {Mendenhall, Mary and Skinner, Makala and Collas, Sophia and French, Sarah}, year = {2018}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2339240:5K4FCZVV 2339240:AR9B9DXT 2339240:LWZP2WIF 2405685:7WEKMXVS 2405685:D5DWS5VN 2405685:K9K3547Z 2405685:QDB69UWB 2534378:2UDLI6HN 2534378:WARY35X2}, keywords = {Google Scholar/ "refugee education" ICT, RER theme\_supporting educators, \_\_:import:01, \_\_:match:final, \_\_:matched, \_\_:study\_id:2425895, \_\_\_working\_potential\_duplicate, \_\_finaldtb, ⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {9--23}, }
