Informations for Parents

The use of BLOCKALOT and the Minetest server hosted by the LMZ is for educational purposes only, i.e. only a teacher or person equivalent to a teacher can register with BLOCKALOT and thus create BLOCKALOTSpaces (virtual worlds) for learners.

In general, your child will not be monitored. The learning partner (formerly known as teacher) decides if there are opening hours for the server and if they are always present when your child is playing.

Please read the privacy policy to learn what kind of data, if any, is stored.

The terms of use of BLOCKALOT require that the usernames for learners be anonymous or at least not contain family names.

Yes, the server hosted by the LMZ is GDPR compliant. You will find all relevant information in the Data Privacy Policy of Minetest.

The use of Minetest for educational purposes has nothing to do with recreational gaming. Rather, through the learning adventures, your child will develop many useful skills for their future.

If you would like to find out more about game-based learning, please talk to your child's learning partner (formerly known as teacher) about your concerns. You can also learn more about game-based learning on the website of the Landesmedienzentrum BW and read the pedagogical booklets we have published.
