Best of Luck to all My Former Students and Colleagues
Short Bioof 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 for
grades 6-9. I wrote curriculum for my school district, the NYC Board of Education
and Open Doors
a school-business partnership.
Cybrary Man's Educational
Web Sites started April 11, 1999 as my school's library website when I
served as my school's teacher-librarian. I was elected and
served two terms on my town's library board of trustees. Now, in
Florida I am in charge of the used books at my
local library.
At the same time I was teaching I wrote educational materials
for the utility industry. I enjoy presenting how I wrote one of
my 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.
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 was a
Featured Presenter at #METC13 and I have skyped or done google
hangout into many conferences throughout the
country.
I am a member of the
Council of Peers of the Academy of Education Arts and Sciences and a
commentator on BAM! Radio.
"Cybraries (and the cybrarians who
tend to them) are scouts out on the cyber frontier who are
classifying and categorizing the wealth of riches available to
educators and students. 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!
