**Learners more than five minutes late to class will not be admitted and will have to watch the recording** In this class I will use a combination of Neapod VR, Canva presentation, digital archives and even videos to teach kids about the Oregon Trail. We will discuss the origins of the the Oregon Trail, various landmarks (Ayers Rock, Chimney Rock), learn what it was like to travel the trail through digital archives, virtual tour and learn about multiple stops on the trail (Independence, MO, Oregon City, Fort Laramie) The beginning of class will have a warm up question(s) that will gauge students previous knowledge.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the Oregon Trail and it's importance.
