Rationale
Computer networking is a component of every GCSE and A level
ICT course. However much of this prerequisite is theoretical and
does not give students the skills to design, create, test or maintain
an actual network. Only in Applied or Vocational courses are students
expected to actually develop networking skills. The purpose of this
site is illustrate the process of creating a patch lead, cable in
a wall socket and terminate a patch panel using step by step illustrations
which I hope other teachers will find useful.
The author
Since 1993 I have worked as Head of ICT in three different
schools of varying size and character in both the independent
and state sectors of education. I qualified as a Cisco Network
Academy Instructor in 2002 and ran a Cisco Network Academy at
Prospect Technology College in Reading for several years. I have
taught 12 Unit Edexcel AVCE ICT and most of the illustrations
of students' work stem from delivering that course at that time.
