	ESC - The Oregon Trail: Overview
		In The Oregon Trail, students become members of families and wagon trains crossing the Plains in the 1840s on the way to Oregon Territory.
		During the simulation, students are able to visit and learn the history of forts and other landmarks, and "talk" to others on the trail about their surroundings and different cultures.
		The primary learning objective of this game is to develop decision-making skills in the face of changing and sometimes unforeseen circumstances.

	The Oregon Trail Home
		Since its creation, the Oregon Trail game continues to evoke a strong nostalgic response because it was one of the first times in which the telling of history was interlaced with the new mediums of technology.
		The Oregon Trail, first conceived of by Don Rawitsch in 1971 during his years at Carleton College in Minnesota, developed in the early 1980’s, and first available to the public in 1985 with eight versions since, is a widely popular computer game simulation of the journey west across 19 th century America.
		This web site explores the use of The Oregon Trail as an educational tool, a moneymaking software program, a cultural icon, and a method to display history, delving deep into historical actualities and modern interpretations to illuminate the conflict between these various versions of the game today.

	LOST Magazine - Computer Science
		Equal parts adventure and strategy, the educational computer game Oregon Trail was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the famed trek westward.

		The Oregon Trail may have once been a hazardous journey to a promised land, but now it's become a direct route to memory lane.
