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 (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.
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.

"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!
