Oregon Trail Game

September 28, 2011 | Posted in: Class Updates

The original version from a few decades ago. The new iOS version has updated graphics. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, though. 🙂

This week, we read a wonderful book called The Josefina Story Quilt about westward expansion.  We also used it as a focus for two HOT questions.  After we read, I fondly remembered an old computer game, The Oregon Trail, which let the player simulate a journey by wagon to the unexplored west.  Coincidently, I read this morning that the recent iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad adaptation game is available for FREE (for a few days) as a promotion for the maker’s new sequel.  I promised the kids that I’d post the information here.  Enjoy!
