My name is Laura Chaffey and I've been a teacher at The Junction Public School, located in Newcastle, NSW, Australia, for the past 5 years and am currently relieving as Assistant Principal on Stage 1.
I am passionate about technology integration and am proud to have initiated the introduction of mobile technologies at The Junction PS. My students and I both love using iPads in our classroom as a tool to aid us in our learning endeavours as well as a fun and engaging way to demonstrate our knowledge and learning. You can see what we've been up to by visiting our class blog: 2C @ The Junction
I am also passionate about sharing and helping others integrate technology in a meaningful way into their classrooms which is why I started this webpage. Nathan MacGregor and myself have also started running school holiday and after school sessions on technology integration. Further information, including details of our next session can be found at the Get Connected website - http://gcsession.weebly.com Hopefully you'll find something new that you'll be excited about introducing to your class!
