An activity using various tools to help students build a map of *their* Internet. They start by identifying some websites in different countries then using various ping, traceroute and geolocation tools to build a map of the journey a packet takes from their computer across the Internet to each website. They then add average ping times to see the time it takes for messages to travel around the world over the Internet.
Can be a group or individual activity. Each group will also need a world map, such as this one https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/world-map-3000292 The larger you can print the map the better the end result. Or alternatively you could use the Google Maps 'My Maps' tools to accomplish the same thing.
You will need to show students how to use ping and traceroute commands on whichever OS you are using.
Findings from all groups can be added to large-format wall map as a display, perhaps using pins, labels and string?
