Jon Hoff’s Teaching ICT (PGCE year)

As a part of the PGCE IT we each had to present a five minute microlesson on a topic of our choice. I chose delicious. I had a hard time narrowing it down to be honest, I had in mind teaching some beginners CSS, using Wordpress as a content mangement system, using Photoshop as an educational tool, using RSS and news readers, the possibilities of Flickr….here is the presentation I ended up doing. Presentation is a little lazy.

I started using delicious years ago as a way to catagorise my old blogspot site. Having started my PGCE course, delicious has come into its own. I am spearheading an effort to get our department its own delicious account, and I may be introducing it to the year 10s at my first placement school.

To see what a PGCE IT trainee gets up to you could check out my course site. This site was adapted from a combination of three column and CSS nav bar templates I found on the web. I love messing around with that kind of thing! Check out the directed activities page to see the work done so far including a presentation on Baud, Bit Rate and Bandwidth and tutorials on using Adobe Photoshop for staff training and student tutition.
