Official Retirement Date from the New York City Board of Education: February 1, 2002
Best of Luck to all Former Students and Colleagues

Short Bio of Jerry Blumengarten

I taught for 32 years in the New York City school system.  Even though I was a licensed Social Studies teacher I taught most subjects (Language Arts, Science, Math, Computers...)for grades 6-9.  I wrote curriculum for my school district, the NYC Board of Education and Open Doors a school-business partnership. I was also a lead teacher and cooperating teacher. Cybrary Man's Educational Web Sites started April 11, 1999 as school's library website when I served as school's teacher-librarian.  I was elected and served two terms on town's library board of trustees.

I also coached back-to-back New York City Track and Field Championships with two different schools and helped develop track and field participants.

 I now live in Florida.

At the same time I was teaching I wrote educational materials for the utility industry. I enjoy presenting how I wrote one of educational activity booklets in person and skyping into classroom all over the world. After retiring I moved to Cape Cod, Massachusetts and helped write the Mashpee Town Charter, get funding for a new library and revise the local school district's curriculum.

On Twitter I was a member of the #edchat team for five years and the originator of  #engsschat.  I have been a guest moderator on the following chats: #ntchat #engchat #sschat #gtchat #elemchat #1to1techat #oklaed #mdeschat

I have given the opening addresses and or sessions for #ntcamp, #edcampCitrus, #edcampSpaceCoast, #TeachMeet GA, #edcampBirmingham, #edcampSocial Studies, #edcampOrlando, #edcampBoston, #ISTE12, NCSS #sschat session, and TeachMeetKY12.

I am one of the main organizers along with the School of Education at Florida Southern College of #edcampPOLK

 I was a Featured Presenter at #METC13 and I have skyped or done google hangout into many conferences throughout the country. I was a Featured Presenter at #GaETC13.  I was the keynote speaker for Tomorrow's Classrooms Today in Philadelphia 2015

At #ISTE2014 I gave  workshops: Twitter 101 and stery Location Calls, was on a panel of educators for the Educators Teacher Lounge, moderated a live #satchat for school leaders (I chose the topic and questions for How to Start a Tech Revolution in your School or School District)

At #ISTE2015 I gave a Twitter 101 workshop and presentations on professional development and connecting on a global level.

I also presented at #FETC in 2016 and #NAESP18

Our book (by @wkrakower @plnaugle @cybraryman1) features stery Location Calls:

Connecting Your Students with the World:
Tools and Projects to Make Global Collaboration Come Alive, K-8

I am a member of the Council of Peers of the Acade of Education Arts and Sciences and a commentator on BAM! Radio.

This week we celebrate these newfangled information specialists who persevere to bring us the best resources available by thinking outside the box. Thanks to ..Jerry Blumengarten (our very own cutting edge cybrarian) for submitting recommendations for this week's issue!
