Some Good Books on Technology Integration in Education

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 19, 2023

Doing academic research can be a tough and strenuous task especially for beginner researchers. It requires an informed knowledge about the skills, competencies, theories, and methodological procedures underlying research work. To this end, I have compiled a number of key readings to help those of you in academia master the craft of research. These book recommendations are based on my own experience as a doctoral researcher. I wish I had known about these titles before I joined PhD, they could have saved me tons of time.

Check them out and share with us if you have other suggestions to add to the list.
