Daniel B.

I have a degree in Information and Communication Technology. In addition, I have a PGCE Secondary in IT and Computing, which is a teacher training qualification. I have taught a range of topics in IT and Computer Science up to GCSE and A Level. The following are just some of the topics I have studied and/or have taught:

Database and Distributed Systems

Binary

Number Systems Conversions including floating-point binary,

Hardware Components

Assembly Language

Programming in Python, Java, SQL and C++

Mark-up Languages: HTML and CSS

Computer Security

Computer Networks

IT Service Management

Data Structures

Algorithms including Big O Notation

E-Commerce

Social Media

Operating Systems Theory

Computing Professional in Practice (LSEPI)

Internet of Things (IoT)

Principles of Programming: Standards; Paradigm

Logical Operations

Digital Logic

Program Construction

Data Transmission

Spreadsheets in Excel and Google Sheets

I approach each topic through use of booklets for the students to complete work and use a set of PowerPoint slides whereby the tasks stated on a particular slide will correspond with the page numbers in the work booklets. In the case of programming tasks, I use work sheets that will show what a sequence of code looks like so that the students will know or have a rough idea as to how to set out their code.

The way I approach the first lesson is that it is a free lesson whereby we can learn about each other and then from that, come up with an action plan going forward in future lessons.
