  It was an excellent student meeting on the 14th of March,2024. The partners met all the project students. We had a native speaker guest from New Zealand. We created a "name wheel" consisting of the names of all our students. We spun the wheel and our guest asked questions to the student whose name appeared. It was a marvellous speaking activity. The excitement of the students and partners was visible on their faces. We are looking forward to the next meeting.

 Schools "GIF" boards.

  Suddenly, a star appeared to the logo of our project. We thought it could be the mascot of our project, but it needed a name. So, the students went to forum page and wrote their name suggestions for this cute star. After that, we prepared a poll with all suggested names and we voted for its name all together. And the name of our mascot is.... GStar.

  We created the logo of our project collaboratively. Each school added elements using the Canva.

 Our hard working students, parents and teachers have answered the pre-surveys.

  Before the journey starts, it is important to know the e safety rules. So first we talked about safety on the internet and then the students coloured their pages.

Our permission documents were signed by the parents of our students.  We are ready to start our eTwinning trip!

 Our students' opinion about the project, is very important. Students expressed their ideas about "What does gamification mean to you", using the tool Answergarden.

 On 7th February, we had the first teachers' meeting. We met each other, we talked about the project, we exchanged ideas and the task distribution was made. It was an amazing meeting and a marvellous project is starting, so stay tuned.

Short Description: In today's world of education, the tools teachers have to enhance classroom activities are almost limitless. To motivate students, we no longer are tied to textbooks, worksheets, and desks in rows. No amount of textbooks or classroom time will help if students are not engaged or motivated. When education is boring, there is no engagement happening. Essentially, no learning happens. That's where gamification and game-based lerarning comes in. By incorporating game elements into the learning process, educators can create a more immersive and engaging experience that helps students stay focused, motivated, and eager to learn. From video games to puzzles, from indoor activities to outdoor ones and interactive technology challenges, gamification has been shown to improve retention, increase motivation, and enhance critical thinking skills.
