Janet Barnstable participated in the Global Virtual Classroom Program since its inception in 1996. After 48 years of a distinguished teaching career, Janet accepted the role of GVC Program Manager in 2010 and devoted her time and energy to helping others learn and grow. We were deeply saddened by her passing in January 2018.

 

She touched the lives of thousands of students and teachers around the world and left an amazing legacy. She personified giving back to others. Janet was a global collaborative pioneer, an inspiring teacher, a caring mentor, and a wonderful friend.

The Give Something Back International Foundation and the Global Virtual Classroom Community is deeply grateful for her significant contributions and continue to be inspired by her example.
