What is This Class You Call Educational Technology?

Back in the Spring I signed up for a class called "Educational Technology" and I didn't think twice about it. The Fall came around and class began; this is where the odd manner of the class came into the light of the situation. I walked into class with a notebook and pens...and that was it. I look around and saw that EVERYONE HAD COMPUTERS!!! I automatically had an "Uh...duh" moment and realized how dumb I now looked to the professor on the FIRST DAY!!! So, here I am sitting in the back of class looking like an absolute HOOLIGAN! Great start to class Carissa...gooooood *childish voice*... Despite how dumb I felt, I did push through...that is by only using my phone and a notebook and several different colored pens...! I somehow understood most of what the professor was talking about, but, as I soon found out, not many other people in the class had a clue. I have to admit that I give my nerdy and geeked-out twin sister most of the credit for helping to develop my technological skills, but...hey...atleast I understood the class...right??? Well, even though I showed up unprepared and unarmed for this class you call "Educational Technology", I think that I will be just fine. :)
