Item Build
((Alchemical Rod)) will be your first item in this build, you need 700 gold so if I have time and grab it real quick I will. Don't leave your tower if the enemy is pushing hard wait until they back or if you are winning lane when you push the wave into their tower. You will not finish this item until your 2nd or 3rd depending on how far your team is.
After you grabbed your RoT you should go straight into ((Combustion)) . This will give you the strength to gank the duo lane and pretty much burst the carry as quickly as possible. Wait for the support to CC if they have it or if you feel confident let those rocks fly and clean up the kills.
Finish ((Azure Core)) at this point and you should have your crest complete as well. Depending on the situation you can go either ((Megacosm)) or ((Caustica)) first just make sure to build the other one after. I prefer ((Caustica)) over ((Wraith Leggings)) because it gives you more Magic Pen and you have your passive and Void Breach/Portal that no one will get away from you and the benefit of the mana regen is big for long sieges on the enemy inhibs.
Full Guide
Laning as Gideon is really simple and you can really zone out heros that don't respect the hero. Always go Q first and Right Click second. Depending how safe you feel in lane at level 3 put another point in Q and level 4 grab your portal. If you want to play safe put the 3rd level point in your portal so you can escape any unwanted ganks. Most players don't take in account for how strong minions are so don't try to poke unless there are about 2-3 minions your opponent has. Plus dont poke unless your passive is up, it'll slow and do damage overtime. While poking please make sure to keep an eye on minions you can last hit. It's cool that you poked them down, but if you aren't out farming them then there is no point. As soon as you hit level 6 go look for a gank or try to get your team to set up a Fangtooth or Mini Orb Prime . These objectives will win you games most of the time. Make sure to always ult above ground, but not too high. His ult is like a sphere and if you are full portal length above ground it won't touch anyone.

Finish Azure Core at this point and you should have your crest complete as well. Depending on the situation you can go either

Caustica over
Wraith Leggings because it gives you more Magic Pen and you have your passive and Void Breach/Portal that no one will get away from you and the benefit of the mana regen is big for long sieges on the enemy inhibs.
Last item if you make it that far can be any of these depending on your situation. I don't recommend Astral Catalyst as it falls off late and winning a team fight with death timers wont make it useful, you can build it early but I find myself selling it if we ever go late for something that helps in a late game team fight. If you are getting CC out of your ultimate get
Truesilver Bracelet . If you want to be tankier get
Golem's Gift . If you want to slow more and deal more damage go
Dreambinder . If you just want to go raw dirty magic damage go
Oblivion Crown .
