 Join us in a remembrance and celebration of the life and legacy of Vance Stevens, who passed away last year. One of the founders of the CALL-IS, Webheads in Action, and Learning2Gether, Vance made a profound impact on teachers around the world who use technology.

With special permission from TESOL, we will also have an opportunity for others to join us via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87356978323... . Meeting ID: 873 5697 8323; Passcode: 423988
