Mr. Speaker, in October 2009, Gisèle Viau, a fifth grade teacher at École Le Tournesol in Béloeil, was awarded a certificate of achievement for teaching excellence.
This teacher has done a remarkable job integrating technology into her teaching and into the daily lives of her students, to whom she is extremely committed.
Ms. Viau paired her students with others from around the globe, taking them on a virtual around the world tour, through which her students learned to apply copyright principles, to hold an international videoconference, to participate in national projects, and so much more.
She has developed a living environment that promotes children's well-being and has shown them the possibilities afforded by modern technology.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to congratulate this exceptional teacher.
