Students at St. Paul School in Carroll County have seen iPods take the place of textbooks since December. Kellie Worrell, a 7th grade math teacher who helped spearhead the effort to wean students off textbooks, has taken technology in the classroom a step further. “The students love the iPods. They seem more engaged. So, I wanted to try and convert my worksheets to an ‘app,’” said Worrell. “It makes it better, and easier to understand,” said student Coby Busick. Worrell partnered with a programmer to create the new app “BrainStars,” because of what she says is a lack of “apps” for middle school students.
