The finalists
Manx Telecomputer Bus
Information technology teacher Alex Townsend has successfully brought computer technology education directly to primary school students on the Isle of Man for over five years using his Computer Bus. Inside the bus, rows of seats have been replaced with rows of Apple Power Mac computers, creating a computer lab on wheels for children who would otherwise not be able to access such technology. He recently used the 3G technology on his mobile phone as a server for the computers to increase the computers' connection speed. Although his efforts are limited to schools on the Isle of Man, his work serves as an excellent example of the capabilities of new mobile phone technology. Megan Hayes
