McCall doesn't mind. His students are tackling problems on projectile motion, calculating, for example, the maximum height of a golf ball in flight in a way meant to give them a deeper understanding of the subject. Working in small groups, the teenagers look occasionally to McCall for advice or direction but not, ideally, for answers. They work in Bishop Moore Catholic High's new "studio" classroom, figuring their equations on velocity and vertical displacement on white "smart boards," "writable windows" and giant touch-screen computer monitors.
