At the same time, Weber also sets clear boundaries regarding her online presence: Children can participate in her custom matches on weekends, where parents or grandparents often watch, and they can follow her on Fortnite. However, she does not follow anyone back, and her lobby remains closed to her own students.
What does Lori Weber plan for the future? In five years, the teacher can retire. Then she has a plan: Streaming Fortnite as a full-time job.
Until then, however, she wants to continue to create a safe place for children through her streams, where hate has no place and continue to use the game to teach students good behavior and fair play.

Lori Weber is a teacher – but in her spare time, she is also a Twitch streamer “Slytrue48”. She streams the battle royale Fortnite and uses the game to teach children good behavior. At the same time, she also wants to create a positive place without hate.
Who is Lori Weber? Lori Weber is a full-time teacher. In addition, she is active as a Fortnite streamer under the name “Slytrue48”.
She regularly streams videos of the battle royale Fortnite on Twitch and has already gained 19,868 followers on the platform (as of February 22, 2023). Additionally, she uploads clips to TikTok and runs a YouTube channel.
In an interview with PCGames, the teacher explained the background of her streaming activity and talks about how Fortnite helps her interact with children.
Fortnite has helped some streamers like Ninja succeed on Twitch. Here you can see what he is doing today:
“Everything they talked about was Fortnite”
How did it all begin? “I started teaching fifth grade five years ago, and everything they talked about was Fortnite,” the teacher told PCGames.
“Fortnite was relatively new at that time. Since I had already played WoW and Assassin’s Creed, I thought I would give it a try and started watching Ninja. My son is the one who bought me my first gaming setup to play Fortnite. This way, I had something to talk about with my students.”
At first, the teacher needed some time to get used to the game. But then she continually developed the concept and began streaming on Twitch. Her students came as viewers, and Weber recognized Fortnite as a helpful tool for her work as a teacher.
How do the students react to it? Lori Weber continues to say that her students think her hobby is cool, and she is often asked whether she could do a Fortnite dance.
But not only her students celebrate Weber for her hobby. By now, she is known as the “Fortnite teacher” at her school, and the principal also seems to support her activities. She always tells new students that Lori Weber will be their teacher in advance about her hobby.
Weber sees a big advantage in that: It especially creates a certain connection with some boys that would not exist without the shared hobby.
How are the streams designed? Lori Weber tailored the streaming content to her fifth-grade class. However, she sometimes also caters to a younger audience. What is very important to her: positivity.
Thus, the teacher ensures that everyone is nice to each other while playing. Instead of insulting others, Weber praises good gameplay. Bullying and curse words have no place in her stream.
According to her own statements, the Fortnite teacher has already received a lot of feedback, with children telling her that they feel safe in her community. Additionally, Weber gives them the feeling that they could come to her if they experience bullying.
Until then, however, she wants to continue to create a safe place for children through her streams, where hate has no place and continue to use the game to teach students good behavior and fair play.
