1 Are You Installing PT 6.0.1 for CCNA R&S?
Benefits: bug fixes, avoiding misconceptions, better interactions with assessment and gaming systems
New features for you and your classes to build better models. Oh, and see “Help”!
PT 6.0.1 is REQUIRED to use many curriculum practice activities, but also quizzes, Chapter exams, Practice and Actual Final Exams, and of course PTSAs

Enhancements: IOS 15 Routers; IPv6 Features; HSRP;
Host Based Firewalls
Server with 2 NICs
HSRP
Octal Cable
HWIC-8A

2 Are You Viewing Simulation Mode?
• Scientific Visualization is a crucial part of most STEM disciplines
• Consider PT Simulation mode a single-step, entire-network, packet sniffer
• Research shows the power of animations, packet tracing, and student “what if” questions
• Check out the protocol list! Device tables! Packet contents! Scenario features! QoS!

3 Are You Using PTSAs?
• Research indicates the utility of performance-based assessments
• PTSAs can improve the validity, fairness, and security of an your exam portfolio
• Automatically graded work product, process logs, and extensive feedback
• Isomorphic tasks (“task families”) allow for better security and/or multiple retakes for mastery

Skills Assessment – PTSA

4 Are You Building Models?
• Research shows the power of learners building their own network models
• This process may be described as constructivist; as an “inquiry” process; as “what ifs” with “aha” moments
• Scaffolding can be heavy (lots of guidance) or minimal (more problem-based), individual or in teams, in-person or via social networking, compare/contrasting PT & real

5 Are You Telling Stories?
• Learning research emphasizes the importance of context, especially for motivation and transfer of learning to work contexts. Consider .pkz (like zip, with gfx)
• Curriculum .pka files are often (not always) written with a minimal amount of context to avoid cognitive overload (distraction)
• Stories provide context; but many times the best stories are localized to the learners

6 Are You Playing Games?
• Research indicates that games have great educational potential
• Many types of NetAcad resources can be turned into games by social means
• We have two computer-based games, Packet Tracer Multiuser (PTMU) and Aspire
• Educational games that are both fun and teach useful networking skills are challenging for Cisco to develop; help us.

7 Are You Writing Activities?
• First, you need not, since there are:
•dozens of new PT 6.0.1 activities,
•hundreds of PT 5.3.x activities
•activities you personally have written
• But maybe you want to modify them? Maybe you want to translate or localize?
• Maybe you alone, or you and your peers, want to write your own, from “scratch”?

To triangulate what students know, a student, their instructor, and NetAcad can draw upon this
Assessment toolkit.
Moving toward ubiquitous formative
assessment.
Shifting from knowledge feedback to feedback about
skills and abilities.

Variable Manager• Variables are associated with pools of
multiple values.
• Pools can be associated with seeds to determine which set to use from the pool.

8 Are You Collaborating?
• You are part of a complex activity system
• If your preferred mode of collaboration is
international, check out the PT community
• If your preferred mode of collaboration is more local, work with Sew Hoon, Kevin, Karen, and Giuseppe and your peers
• There is immense power and openness in the Packet Tracer Ecosystem. Be patient with Activity Wizard, Scoring Model and Scripting, as we prioritize student-facing features, not AW UX
• WE. ARE. PARTNERS.
