gaming can potentially connect with learning in several ways. For example oregon trail teaches you the real life experiences they took while they traveled. Gaming sticks to most peoples brain than reading off a book. I played oregon trail for an hour and it was getting addicting. being able to manage my equipment and money. Also, making the right decisions to stay in a good health. It explained the obstacles they faced while on their journey. for example Fire, broken leg, and a snake bite. If i read the journey that i played i would think it was boring and not pay attention to the text.
