CyberLearning-World.com is lesson plans and projects for students and teachers
Title
Welcome to Cyberlearning World by George Cassutto
Description
Cyberlearning-world.com is an education portal developed by 25-year, award-winning Social Studies teacher George Cassutto. He writes:
Cyberlearning-world.com was born when I left North Hagerstown High and took a position in northern Viginia in 2000. The student projects and lesson plans traveled with me, and they became the nucleus of the website. Another critical part of the site is the survival story of my parents, Ernest and Elisabeth Cassutto, and how they became people of faith after the Nazi Holocaust. The site now includes an Election 2008 section, a fitness journal, and numerous student projects in both Civics and History.
I also posted a personal page and academic portfolio from my graduate studies at George Mason University. Here is a description of some of my interests, hobbies, and experiences. I try to consider myself a lifelong learner, open to new experiences and ways of thinking, with a desire to help young people understand different cultures, people, and groups.
I am what may be called a "news junkie." I stay on top of world and national events through various media sources. I bring current events into my Civics classroom, and I did so when I taught US History on the high school level.
My parents were survivors of the Nazi Holocaust from the Netherlands. They immigrated to the United States after World War II. My father was a minister of the Presbyterian Church USA and my mother taught languages on the secondary level. Their inspiring story of survival and forgiveness can be found on my website at http://www.cyberlearning-world.com/memorial/dadmom.htm.
Hiking and Backpacking
I have been a hiker of the Appalachian Trail since I was a teenager back in the mid-1970s. My best buddies and I have explored every inch of the AT from Southern Pennsylvania into Northern Virginia, with my favorite stretch being the section that goes by Weverton Mountain into Harper's Ferry West Virginia. I now live several miles from the AT. I have also hiked Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park.
