about eduTecher
eduTecher was created in late 2007. The website’s main purpose is to help educators and schools around the world effectively integrate technology, including the wonderful tools on the vast World Wide Web, into the classroom. eduTecher offers links to hundreds of web tools and sites and provides concise information on how the tools may be useful in the classroom setting. The site’s goal is simple: contribute to the academic world, without charging membership fees for the users or promoting specific software and hardware products through commercial advertising.
While eduTecher does have a wealth of links and information about current technological offerings for the classroom and modern student, the truth is that new ideas and new technology come about far too quickly for any one site to keep up. The hope of eduTecher is that with the help of users like you we can stay up-to-date with all the great new offerings of our digital word. Users can contribute by submitting new links and web tools through our contact form or by sharing personal opinions and ideas by commenting on the links provided.
eduTecher, like technology in general, is a work in progress that will change and evolve to best meet the needs of it’s users. We are always open to feedback and advice. Please share this site with your colleagues and students. You can download the free eduTecher iPhone application. Support our site by visiting the eduTecher Store or making a donation.
about Adam Bellow
Adam Bellow, founder and President of eduTecher, has had an interest in technology since he was a small child. Learning BASIC and writing computer games in the fourth grade on his parent’s Apple IIe, he learned quickly the power that computers and technology could have. While earning a dual Master’s Degree in General and Special Education at Hunter College, he saw it’s true potential in the educational setting. Adam was asked to teach the Technology in Education course for the degree program he was attending (before graduating himself). He also ran a computer lab for special education majors and their students. Since 2007 Adam has been working for a school district on Long Island, New York, as a technology training specialist. This job allows Adam to work with teachers and students to help them infuse technology successfully in the classroom. Adam is happily married and has an amazing baby boy.
Adam enjoys participating and presenting at conferences around the country and has had the distinct privilege of having been asked to speak at ISTE, NECC, FETC, NYSCATE, BOCES, and more. For information about having Adam speak as a conference presenter please contact him here. Presentations can be tailored to fit any audience, but areas of expertise are Web 2.0 tools, SmartBoard integration, multimedia projects, and motivating teachers to better use technology in the classroom. Adam’s presentations are carefully planned, engaging, and packed with current information and a good sense of humor.
