Mission India:
Peter Packet, you and your team are heading into the wireless component of your mission. You will
find that in wireless space you'll need additional security and that you must continue to keep an eye
out for viruses and hackers. You may face interference from other signals in the air. Interference could
distort your message. It is essential that you deliver your information to Rashmi so that Asha and the
other girls in her village will have the opportunity to go to school.
- Go to the game
and skip forward to the wireless section being sure to select India. Team members should head
to their own computers or share computers with others as they make their move through wireless space.
If anyone needs help, remember that your team always has access to the Game Cheat Sheet and the Help button.
Stop after your mission is complete at a section called "Learn More: India." Do NOT click on the links in this section.
- Add details of your mission in your Mission Journal making sure to list facts about traveling through
wireless space, the difficulties you encountered, and what happened when you made it to the wireless access point.
- Once your message has been assembled, it is time to get together with your team to consider
how that message got to India. Let's say it left from a computer on a wireless network on the campus
at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania and ended up at its destination computer in New Delhi, India.
Use the links below to help you list in your Mission Journal the route your packet traveled and how it
avoided problems with interference, congestion, viruses, hacker packets, and distance. The links will
not give you all the answers, but you may want to use your email connections to people like your school
networking specialist who might give you some additional help. Your team will have to use its best judgment
in deciding upon the route and the way around any problems faced.
- Be ready to report your results to the class.
