Local Recipients

Vincent Macdonald

Vincent Macdonald met Thomas Cox in London, Ontario, where the pair teach mathematics and science. Together, they have worked on a variety of technology-based projects for the London and Middlesex County Roman Catholic School Board. For example, they integrated design technology into the math and science curricula and made sure that technologically based material addressed gender equity. The pair also helped students use telecommunications technology. Students talked with First Nations schools through the Kids From Kanata Network and Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Cox arranged a live videoconference in which Canadian and British students discussed the environment.
