Are there any teachers out there that play 360?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if there are any teachers out there that play 360, or games at all. Obviously, I wouldn't think that a video game community would be tearing the seems with teachers, but it was a good shot!

I teach high school Civics, World History, Problems of Democracy, and Geography.

It's a storm day today that's why I'm asking at this time, because I'm bored!

Why would a teacher not play video games?

I am a retired High School teacher who has been a gamer for years. Like you, I taught history, economics, and geography for 40 years. My students were surprised that I play video games on both the PS and xbox but it seemed to connect and gave us some to talk about and compare.FlashCharge

Nice! Yeah having something in your back pocket to talk about during those down times in class is really a nice thing to have!

I'm an English teacher who has been a gamer since the days of Atari. I love my 360 and believe it's a good way to compare certain novels with games beforehand to get students more interested in literature. This especially works well when I teach Ender's Game. Lebowski__basic

That's cool, I've used some Call of Duty things to explain some WWII material, nothing to indepth, but just a way to connect the material to their lives.

I teach fourth grade and I have played games for years. Gaming is a hobby and teachers do not live in their classroom. We all have things we enjoy to do outside our classrooms.

Didn't think there were that many teachers that played!

I have a Science teacher that used to play CoD:4. It was funny because the first time we played with each other he started to make fun of me. He was saying he would give me an F if I sucked blah blah blah. It was really fun to play with him. And any older people in particular, they tend to be more fun to play with.

If anybody wants to play, throw me an invite: Gamertag: iMUZI

There is no reason not to! I play all the time! It's actually a great way to make a connection with students. I play COD: W@W with some of my students over live. It's a good ice breaker in the beginning of the year as well!Samslayer

I am a sex ed teacher as well as pornography film director. i enjoy video games while having inercorse and teaching at the same time! there is nothing quite like it when you are playing fable 2, riding some piece of azz and cheating on your wife(im not just talking about in fable by the way)!

I know a computer teacher that plays xbox 360.. his gamersocre is 72,165....

he knows a guy from EA and the 3 game gamefly pack =/

My wife and I are both teachers. I teach 7th grade math and my wife teaches 5th grade. We both play a lot of Xbox 360, especially Halo 3. I don't play with my students though, that's too friendly. However, I would love to play against them and dominate them.

My wife is a 5th grade teacher and loves to play Rock Band.

I had a Social Studies teacher freshman year who talked about Madden all the time. After a month he left and a new teacher came in. He was like 22 and played WOW. It was even on his laptop i think. In the middle of the year he asked me and my friends about a 360 cause he wanted one. He got one over the summer but i havent played with him yet.

Also there is an english teacher who i hear is sick at Halo.

My science teacher does his name is Mr.Cordes and he's awesome his gamerscore is 21,142 it's pretty sick;)

English Teacher 10 years, high school and just starting to get into administration (thats being a principal for all you non-educators). I tell my students I play and they beg me for my gamertag, but I don't give it out. There are some kids I would not mind playin with but so many more that would drive me insane. Plus, I don't want them to get low self esteem fom me shooting them in the face at Call of Duty, or owning them at Halo 3. Although showing those little grasshoppers just who is the big man on campus would be nice. In actuallity they would probably whup my A$$! Well, maybe.
