Cisco Systems is encouraging young learners to visit its new web portal — Packetville. The site is rich with interactive and educational content to introduce students to the marvels of the Internet as it relates to math, science, real-world solutions, education and careers. Students join characters Peter and Penny Packet as they “jump into the Internet” and participate in a variety of fun activities to explore technology and its important role in society.
The educational and interactive games in Packetville engage students and provide an entertaining learning experience. Packetville uses gaming to introduce and connect young people — ages eight through 14 — to IT, encouraging them to explore technology and discover the many ways that IT helps individuals and communities around the world. Packetville also includes valuable resources for parents, education administrators, instructors and guidance counselors, including teaching aids and lesson plans, mapped to International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards.
