The Verizon Mobile Learning Academy (VMLA) is brought to you by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), the Verizon Foundation, and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education's Center for Technology in Education. This new mobile learning program is aligned with ISTE Standards and is designed to help teams of educators:

Evaluate and plan for a mobile learning landscape;
Develop digital fluency;
Embed classroom technology;
Implement effective mobile practices; and
Model safe online practices for students

We look forward to your participation and feedback as we build forward-looking learning environments that support meaningful learning. Each participant completing the course is eligible for 2.5 Continuing Education Credits (CEU) from Johns Hopkins University. Since this course primarily uses group assessments, it is the responsibility of individuals and teams to ensure active participation of each team member.
