Dr. Kharbach holds a PhD in educational studies from&nbsp; <a data-lasso-id=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msvu.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Saint Vincent University<\/a> in Halifax, Canada. He was also a K-12 teacher with over 12 years of classroom teaching experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I launched Educators Technology in 2010 (originally titled <em>Educational Technology and Mobile Learning<\/em>) to help fellow EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers integrate technology into language instruction. Fast forward to 2024, <em>Educators Technology<\/em> became among the top EdTech blogs with over 7000 published blog posts. <em>Educators Technology<\/em> has been referenced in a wide variety of academic research journals, books, and news outlets including the New York Times, Huffpost.com, Hubspot.com, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I strongly believe in the potential of educational technology in transforming the way we learn and teach and I want to help, as much as I can, towards making this transformative power of technology&nbsp;a lived reality in our classrooms and beyond. My goal is to help teachers, educators, students, and parents&nbsp; make the best of educational technology by providing them with quality EdTech resources and recommendations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from educational technology, my other academic research interests as a scholar include: curriculum studies, discourse analysis, language learning\/teaching,&nbsp; language and identity, new (emerging) literacies, and research methodologies. I have presented in numerous national and international conferences and have published in different academic peer reviewed journals including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/home\/dcm\" data-lasso-id=\"3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discourse &amp; Communication<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/home\/das\" data-lasso-id=\"4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discourse &amp; Society<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/jcacs.journals.yorku.ca\/index.php\/jcacs\" data-lasso-id=\"5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lib.unb.ca\/index.php\/antistasis\/index\" data-lasso-id=\"6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antistasis<\/a> (University of New Brunswick, Canada)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iaacs.ca\/\" data-lasso-id=\"7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of the International Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>My professional affiliations include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The International Society for Research on Identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian Committee of Graduate Students in Education (CCGSE)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security, and Society .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find an overview of my academic&nbsp; publications on these platforms: <a data-lasso-id=\"8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Mohamed-Kharbach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ResearchGate<\/a>, <a data-lasso-id=\"9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mkharbach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <a data-lasso-id=\"10\" href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7840-7474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ORCID<\/a>, and <a data-lasso-id=\"11\" href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=gIq8_rAAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay connected and explore more educational technology tips and resources by following me on social media!
