💻 The first chapter of our game is ready to be tested. Several schools in Belgium, Estonia and Ireland are working on it.

🎮 Yesterday, we started the day with a preview of the game. We talked about the adaptations.

☕ Then our Estonian colleagues provided an activity: ceramics. We made our own mug under the guidance of a very enthusiastic lady.

📝Later we discussed the testing of the game and had a meeting with PlayIt, our game developers.

🍷🍽️ We ended the day with a fantastic five-course dinner.

🚂❄️Today, we took the train to Kehtna to start the first meeting of TPM4. We were enchanted by the winter wonderland.

📝After a tasty lunch, we discussed the surveys again. We embrace the wishes of our students and we consider it very important that they have a voice in the making of our game.

👩🏽‍🏫📚👨🏼‍🏫Then we got to work on creating the teacher materials. We would like to encourage teachers to implement the techniques of 'Close Reading' in their reading lessons.

What do you think an educational game needs to be successful?

Inge and Laurien attended the OMG festival in Kortrijk. It is a gaming event explaining educational games. We picked up many good ideas that we can use for our own game.
It was also great to try out new gaming techniques, such as virtual reality.

On the last day of the TPM, we created content for our game. We searched for texts translated into multiple languages. Then we drafted questions and let our imaginations run wild regarding the visualisation of the texts in our game.
After lunch, we said goodbye to our Estonian colleagues. We are already looking forward to the next meeting with each other and our game developers.

💻 We had a meeting in the morning with Play it, our game developers. Our first text was already incorporated into the game. WOW! What a fantastic job they had already done! We are already looking forward to the sequel.
🌸 Koen then organised a fantastic blossom walk in beautiful Borgloon. This resulted in very beautiful photos.

Today was the first day of TPM3. After breakfast, we discussed the results of the various surveys. We will take these conclusions to our game. After lunch, Koen arranged an interactive game for us on the Alden Biesen estate. Using film clips and texts, we had to solve the invented murder mystery of Alden Biesen. It was fun! After this, we went back to work. We chose different texts that we will integrate into our game. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with the game developers. We are very much looking forward to the preview of 'iRead: The adventure'.
