Today, I'm going back to school in Fortnite as I jump in game with an actual teacher. We're going to work together and use his teaching skills to help us complete this map and try and get the fastest time possible. And a big thank you to Get Into Teaching for sponsoring this video as my school experiences actually led me to where I am right now. My favorite subject, believe it or not, was maths. I love numbers and being able to understand numbers and see different patterns within the world of YouTube helped me grow my channel initially and continue to grow it. By understanding data to help make bigger and better videos. I also loved art and design and I self-taught myself to edit and use programs to make my thumbnails on YouTube to make my videos as clickable

as possible so people would come and watch them. I'm about to jump in with an actual teacher to see what time we can get on this map and you can play it too by using the map code on screen to also play Mr. Pickle 2 student run and see if you can beat our time. Jack, welcome. The mission is starting. Are you ready to help me complete this? Yeah, let's go. Sick. Okay, first mission. We've got a few logs to jump over and an NPC. Ooh, Barnaby. Let's see what he's saying. Barnaby, ooh, are you a new teacher?

I've lost my classmate and the trees are starting to look at me funny. You guide me out of here, won't you? Of course. Of course I'll guide you, Barnaby. Let's go along these rocks here. Now, Jack, which subject do you teach at school? Because you're an actual teacher, so I'd love to know a little bit more about what you do. Uh so I teach history. In uh secondary first say from 11 all the way up to 18. Amazing. How are you doing getting across? Yeah, look, this is good. We're good teamwork here. We are making our way through. There's a time at the bottom. We're going to try and complete this as quickly as possible. You obviously are teaching

every single day and trying to be really creative with what you do. Do you find that you have lots of fun coming up with new things every day? Yeah, I think definitely. Like the big thing about teaching, particularly a subject like history, is just finding that little bit of interest. Good thing about teaching history as well is that like you just go off on a tangent. Someone will ask a question and next thing you know you're talking about something completely different, but you know, that's part of the good thing about teaching history. that. You don't know where any lesson's about to go. If a student gets excited

about something, you can run with it. If I'm looking around here, I've explored the map a little bit. There's three different ticks here and different buttons on the floor. Now, I think we need to do it in this order. I can't remember which side green was on. Is it over here? Okay, yeah, come up here. I think we're going to do these in order. So, if we want to stay on these little edges, let's jump on the green one first. Nice. See, look at me, I'm following instructions. If someone puts a Yeah, if someone puts something on the whiteboard, I'd be listening and locking in right now. Let's not run over that one and head on over here. A lot of people probably would rush into it and do the blue one first.

That's it. They're lighting up. Yeah, yeah, you do it. Let's go. Teamwork makes the dream work. Oh, look, Barnaby's made it. Let's go. You're an actual teacher. Well, Jack is actually a teacher, so I'll give him that one. Let's see what Penelope has to say. Oh, thank goodness. I'm trying to get through, but I'm under so much pressure. If only someone could help me solve this weighty problem. Ooh, sounds serious. Okay, let's see what we're going to find here. I often run into issues when I'm working throughout the day. If I'm struggling to come up with

ideas or just not too sure how to approach a task. Oh, no, we're both failing. We're logging, guys. How do you find it if you see your students are struggling with something? How do you steer them in the right direction and give them a little bit of a motivation to give the task a go? Big thing is that when it comes into teaching, just knowing the students in front of you is probably the biggest bit of advice I was always given. Teaching a subject like history, you know, some people are going to think it's for them, other people are going to think, you know, oh, this is so boring or this isn't a bit of me. It's just finding that the in, you know, finding that thing that

peaks someone's interest. It's always something that you want to be really proactive at finding. Kids will just try and throw their question my way. Almost so they maybe try and trick me out, but it's a good thing about being like a historian. He tends to just remember some random fact about something here and there. I do remember when I was in school like just trying to like ask a question my teacher couldn't answer, you know? Like, how much can I push them? How good is their knowledge? Cuz like you've got to You got to know a lot, right? The students are interested. I'll remember. All right, we're going to make it up here. We're on 6 minutes. Honestly, you're doing better than me right now. There's a few things

here we can spend our money on as well, so I'm going to get speed. So, you should have got some coins, so let's get speed. I'm going to get jump as well. I can't buy that with enough money. I've got speed instead. That's fine. I'm a little bit quicker now. This is what we want, people. Okay. We're getting close. Oh, no, too much speed now. So, when it comes to things that obviously you love and being a teacher, you obviously love history and you hope that your students latch on to whatever you love as well simply because they love hearing someone be passionate about something. I started off uploading gaming videos just cuz I loved gaming and people found it and saw that

passion. It inspired them, I hope, to come and either play games or watch me playing games. How did you know what your passion was and how do you try and inspire that passion within other people as well? I studied history at university. Yeah, history was my favorite subject at school. They give us a push By the way, I think Yeah, there we go. Nice. Perfect. I had a really good history teacher and um so I went on study at uni. And oh, I didn't know. Ooh, let's go. It was just, you know, just enjoying that game for but I didn't funny enough I didn't go straight into teaching.

I did spend some time. I was doing like banking jobs before that. Just didn't really didn't enjoy it, but cuz I think you know, like you say with your videos, like when you're working in your passion, it just becomes a lot easier. I think that's probably like a big thing. Yeah. I think kids really see that as well. 100% and I feel like platform I come from, YouTube, you watch content from anyone that's super passionate. But also as you said there, like sometimes it can be hard to know what you're passionate about. Takes a little bit of time to find it, right? So, don't be worried if you don't find it straight away. Now we've got Jasper here. Jumpy Jasper. I'll never be able

to make those jumps and get all the way to the top. It's impossible. I'll be stuck in the woods forever. No, you won't, Jasper. We will help you out. Okay, I am not the best at parkour. I'm not going to lie, but we're 9 minutes in. We can do this. Well, you're miles ahead of me right now. This is great. Okay. No. Oh my gosh. Okay, we've got to lock in. Oh my goodness, yeah. No more talking. Okay, watch your feet. There's traps everywhere. You've obviously got students right in front of you. It must be amazing seeing students

enjoying learning from you right in front of you. What kind of motivation does that bring? Like seeing the reactions and having that social connection with the students you were lucky enough to teach? It's massive. You see a kids like when students like develop and you know, in particular if they're really struggling at like one certain thing and then seeing them grow through that, their confidence grow. It's probably the most rewarding thing from it. Students I taught years ago, they bump into me every now and like you know, every now and then. The amount of times I just hear like, oh, I'm walking down the street. I just hear, oh, Saunders.

Turn around. It's a pretty great man. He's got a beard. That's so cool. That's so true. the fun of it. Yeah, I love that. It comes back, doesn't it? And uh oh my god. Okay. The effect you're having on people is literally lifelong. Coming up to the 12-minute mark for you guys that are watching at home, you can jump in with your friends and see if you can beat our time. I think for a first run, it's not too bad at all. Okay, so there's a big jump here. OH MY GOD. OH. YOU WON? OH, I THINK I pushed you off. No my goodness. Got sabotaged by my own teammate.

Oh well, you went far back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, okay. Okay, I'll catch up. Just give me a second. Ooh. Oh, that's so close. There we go. Okay, nice. We're almost at the Oh, you didn't warn me about the hole in the bridge. Oh, there's a hole in the bridge apparently. Now I know about the hole. There we go. He kept saying there's a hole in the bridge. There we go. Thank you. Appreciate that, mate. All right, do I have enough gold after collecting this? Can I upgrade? Ooh, yes, I can get double jump. So, I've now got double jump and double speed. Perfect. I think you're both upgraded. Can you feel it?

Can you feel Yeah. Ooh, oh my goodness. That is a big jump. Okay. Leadership level increased. Oh my goodness. Wait, how do I get down to Oh, we went the wrong way for sure. I can see some other guys down here that may need our help. Oh my goodness. There we go. We're okay. Let's see what they have to say. Who's here? We've helped three of them so far. It's time to assist Sybil. This puzzle is too much for me. I don't even know where to start. If only someone could help me find a pattern. Okay. Look, I am not a teacher, but if I was to instill Oh my goodness. If I was to instill any sort of deeper life learnings from what I've done, I

often get a little bit overwhelmed with everything I've got to do or task can feel a little bit too much and I'm sure students and maybe even yourself, Jack, as a teacher, you feel like there's a lot going on at some points. I feel like just starting is probably the biggest thing you can do. And then if you actually start it, you realize you get a little bit of momentum. It's not quite as bad as you thought it was going to be and you don't need to complete it necessarily. Like look, I was really poor sometimes at getting my homework done. But if I just started it, then before I knew it, I've probably done most of it. Do you think that's a good lesson for a lot of students?

100% like particularly with classes when they're gearing up for exam sessions and stuff like that. It can be quite overwhelming. If you just get going, if you just show that little bit of resilience, you know, you'd be surprised of how well you can really push yourselves at times. Yeah, definitely. Now, I think May I need to come I think roles have a little bit reversed here. I need to give Jack a little bit of support. Where are you, mate? Yeah, you've got the jump technique down. That's all you need, honestly. Yes, there we go. This one's a little bit easier. Nope. I did it. I'm sorry. I went too far. That's all right. Oh, sorry. Aim for the rocks that don't have any um cracks on them. That's what I'm learning from this.

Cyril did say this is all about patterns. If you jump straight to this rock here, the one I'm on. Wait, is that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just jump and then yeah, yeah, yeah. Boom, boom. Oh, there we go. Avoid that other one. Uh nice. Just spotting some patterns. Getting a little bit of help. That was something else I was also quite bad at doing at school. I was not very good at actually asking for help. Wait, please tell me Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come down here. Come down here. Here we go. Ah, there we go. That's what we like to see. If I didn't understand things, I was so scared to put my hand up and ask for a little bit more help. But, would you always encourage that with students and

people that are trying to learn with you that it's actually fine not to know things, right? Oh, completely. Like me just there with those rubbish rocks. Like you only learn by getting things wrong. Exactly. It's part of this thing as well, particularly you know, if you're really fortunate that you've got teachers that want to put the effort in with you as well that are passionate about their subject, you know. And at the same time as well, they've heard that question probably a million times before. That's true. It is a difficult thing to do to get over that fear of admitting that you're struggling with something, but you know, it's natural, particularly

when you're learning new things. You're always going to need that little bit of support. And that's what you know, that's what teachers are there for really, to give you that help. Really help you be the best you can be. The lessons and the learnings that teachers instill go beyond just the classroom as well. That's what's amazing about teaching is you're setting students up for the rest of their lives. This is going to be the hardest mission, the hardest thing you've ever encountered as a teacher. No, I'm kidding. It should be fine. We've got some patterns on the floor and we've got again some shapes on the wall. I guess we should probably follow them in order again, right?

Should we give it a go? Okay, yeah. Boom, that's looking good. Yeah, if you jump on the blue one. Nice. Where's the yellow one? Here we go. Red one. Let's go. Purple owl. Final one. 21 minutes. Just look at that. 21 minutes, 29 seconds. Look at that. Mr. Pickle coming out to celebrate with us. Let's go. You got the class back together. You guided Barnaby, showed Penelope how to think creatively, gave Jasper his confidence, and helped Civil solve a very tricky problem. Jack, thank you so much for giving me a little bit of insight into what it's like to be a teacher. Guys, jump in now and play Mr. Pickle 2

Student Run and see if you can beat our time. A big thank you to Jack and Get Into Teaching for sponsoring this video. Thanks for watching.
