A professional development program to provide teachers with tools and strategies for using mobile learning in the classroom has had a positive effect on student engagement and interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects, according to new research from the [International Society for Technology in Education](https://www.iste.org/) (ISTE) and the [Verizon Foundation](http://www.verizonfoundation.org/).

The research findings, which were announced at the [International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2013 conference and expo](http://www.isteconference.org/2013/) taking place this week in San Antonio, TX, report on results from the [Verizon Innovative Learning Schools](http://www.verizonfoundation.org/our-focus/) (VILS) program. The VILS program provides teachers in underserved areas with two years of professional development training — both live and virtual — and resources to help them effectively integrate technology in their classrooms.
