Cisco Launches Packetville eLearning Web Portal
Cisco Systems has launched Packetville, a Web portal rich with interactive and educational content to introduce young 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. "Gaming is an exciting learning tool, and can be highly effective, depending on the audience and content," said Marcia Sitcoske, senior director of the Creative Learning Studios at Cisco. "The educational and interactive games in Packetville engage students and provide an entertaining learning experience."
