What are the essential tools that every IT person should have in the modern IT world? That is the idea behind a new Kingston University module called IT Toolbox. Over a 12 week semester, first year students will be guided through a series of activities such as blogging, running a server, client and server side scripting, search, social networking and problem solving. Each of those activities will be published here and anyone is welcome to join in.

As I am preparing my teaching for the Autumn I thought it would be useful to package up last year's notes into a single document.

IT Toolbox 2007 (325 KB)

This document includes all of the activities we did last year as well as some discussion around the purpose and outcomes of the course.

I am happy if other teachers and students use any of the materials included in this document and have licenced it under Creative Commons.

If you are studying IT Toolbox with me a Kingston this year, 2008, then please note that many of the sessions will be updated. Do not rely on this version.

Notes for the new session which starts on the 2nd of October will be published as the course progresses.

If you have any comments or questions about this course please ask them here.

Jonathan replies: I'm great and glad you are still reading the site. Will be interesting to run Toolbox for the second time - some changes in store!
