1. WHAT IS GAMIFICATION?
Gamification in Education is the process of transforming typical academic components into gaming themes. Gamification endeavors to literally create a game out of learning by theming all components of your classroom in a game metaphor; ..."[1] https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-gamification-in-education-definition-research-strategies.html. Actually, Gamification involves the use of a video-games, "The gamification of learning is an educational approach to motivate students to learn by using video game design and game elements in learning environments."[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

2. WHY TO USE IT
Gamification in education offers many possible benefits, including the following:
* Students feel ownership over their learning
* More relaxed atmosphere in regard to failure, since learners can simply try again
* More fun in the classroom
* Students may uncover intrinsic motivation for learning

3. HOW WE IMPLEMENTED IT

FIRST STEPS:
IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE DIGITAL COMPETENCE OF THE PARTICIPANTS, WE AGREED ON CREATING A PADLET WHERE WE WOULD SHARE THE APPS AND SOFTWARE WE WANTED TO USE IN THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES OF THE PROJECT.

PROMOTING THE DIGITAL COMPETENCE:
BEING A EUROPEAN PROJECT WITH LEARNERS' MOBILITITES, WE DECIDED TO MAKE OUR STUDENTS WORK USING SOME OF THE TOOLS WE HAD AGREED ON WORKING WITH.

HERE IS A SAMPLE OF A GLOGSTER MADE BY THE ITALIAN STUDENTS SHOWING THEIR AREA.

USING THIS PLATFORM IS ALSO A KEY FACTOR TO IMPROVE BOTH THE STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS' DIGITAL COMPETENCE. HERE WE UPLOADED ALL OUR PRODUCTS AND HAD SOME INTERACTION, TOO.

STUDENTS MADE THEIR OWN VIDEOS ABOUT THEIR TOWNS. THIS WAY THEY PROMOTED THEIR HOMETOWNS AND THEIR CULTURAL HERITAGE. HENCE, WE WERE AWARDED WITH THE European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 (EYCH) label.

4. THE CHALLENGES

Each school designed a "challenge" students would have to sort out during the school exchanges. These challenges, also called "webquests", had to be interdisciplinary and students from the hosting schools helped in the preparation. The process was very simple:
1. The teachers of the organising school prepared the questions of the challenge.
2. Each question of the challenge had to be located in a different area of the town.
