Bellow began his career teaching High School English for students with language-based learning disabilities. While going for his first master′s degree, he was asked to teach the graduate level course for his peers on the value of Technology for the Special Education Classroom based on his clear passion for the subject. It was during this course that he created a resource for his students called eduTecher, which grew to become one of the most widely heralded and respected hubs to learn about free web tools for the K-12 landscape. eduTecher launched the first mobile applications for educational technology.
