Assignment 6

I did my software evaluation on the game Oregon Trail. I think this game can be useful in the education settings. I played this game when I was in 5th grade. It keeps the children entertained. At the same time, it teaches them a little on history as far as traveling the trail. It also teaches them survival. Throughout the game, as a player, you must keep the other players and the oxen alive. This is done by hunting for food supply, a good amount of rest, and avoiding illnesses. Many things can be learned by children through this game.
