Martha Thornburgh: Google Certified Teacher

This is my second year as Digital Literacy Specialist for the Mount Vernon School District.    I love the  challenge of helping teachers infuse technology into student learning. In my position, I am training teachers in conventional workshops, online tutorials and modeling in the classroom.  I spend time each week working directly with students and teachers.  In my 20 years of teaching, I have had the blessing to teach every grade level from pre-K to 6th grade in places as varied as the Navajo Nation, Texas, Ecuador, Kenya, and Indonesia. I am a proud Texan who loves living and working in beautiful Washington.  I hold a Masters Degree in Education with an English as a Second Language and a Social Studies Endorsement.  I am a lifelong learner who loves trying out new techniques and technology.  I consider myself a bit of a technogeek.  Travel is a passion for me.  I have traveled extensively on 6 continents and have lived and worked on 4.  I am on the Northwest Leadership Council for the Discovery Educator Network and a proud new Google Certified Teacher.  I serve as a volunteer regional educator resource for Heifer International.  My husband and I enjoy walking our giant mutt Roswell, going on roadtrips, camping, gardening and renovating our 100 year old home in Mount Vernon.
