Users are presented with a very simple screen that provides 4 windows of information and tools: a small graphic simulating the movement of a wagon across the landscape, a progress line traced on a map, a daily journal, and a status scoreboard that monitors stores, health, and progress. None of the graphics are exceptional by today's software standards, but they are adequate to the task. Educational Value Users are challenged to make a series of decisions to guide their party from Independence, Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley, by covered wagon. These decisions begin with provisioning the wagon and choosing a departure date, through daily decisions relating to pace, restocking and direction. Users face an unending series of obstacles: fires, floods, injuries, no water, bad water, no grass, food spoilage, etc. The life-or-death decisions faced by the settlers are even reinforced by the loss of party members! Kid Appeal Our testers reported mixed results on this important measure of long-term interest-holding power. For those children interested in the old west, and American history, Oregon Trail was a big hit. "My son would go up to his room after school, and play until dinner," reported one parent.

39. Oregontrail Why is the migration to California and oregon by way of oregon trail consideredto be one of the most important events in american history? http://shabonee.northbrook27.k12.il.us/OregonTrailWebQuest/oregontrail.html

Introduction The Oregon Trail was much more than a pathway to the state of Oregon; it was the only practical corridor to the entire Western United States. The Trail was the only feasible way for settlers to get across the mountains. The bravery and fortitude of these settlers resulted in the American West becoming part of the United States rather then Canada or Mexico. The original Oregon Trail software program has been sold to a new company. The new company has asked several advertising agencies in the area to help compile a more complete history of the migration and physical aspects of the Oregon Trail to be included in the new program. In addition the agency will design a CD ROM cover for the new product. The advertising agency that the company selects will receive a million dollar for the project. Tasks Your class will be divided into several different groups each representing a different advertising agency . Each agency will have representatives from four different areas that will research the various aspects of the Oregon Trail. Each agency will give a final presentation to the president of the software company and historian, Merrill Mattes who has identified the Oregon/California migration as one of the ten most important events in American history. These two judges will select the agency that will receive the contract based on their presentation.
