Probably the best TED talk on gamification I've watched. He shows a quality example of his gamification in a new science course Biohazard 5, admits his failures, and has passion.

Thanks for the comment Jackie. If you really want to be a teacher go for it. You will meet other amazing educators and your students will always be a source of inspiration. I love my job and I always enjoy going to work. The same could not be said for many professions. Good luck.

I am not good at English and in past, you were the only one there who teaches the concept by moving things and animating them in a cool way. Now I am a Professional Game Developer who is good in physics and math. Thanks to your passion of teaching :)

It's great to hear a TEDster say: "check out this idea...here's how it failed" It's a pretty open-ended challenge to us all. Great Talk.

Self reflection is such a strong character trait of a great teacher. I hope schools change to making kids curious

Mr. Andersen was my bio teacher and he was easily one of my favorite teachers I have ever had. He's truly an inspirational person, and I think everybody should support this man on his endeavors to change how education in america works. Congrats from Sean W Mr. A!

I clapped for you, in my living room, by myself, after that speech. Way to go! That was such a great message and I love the way you tied in the Alice in Wonderland metaphor back into the conclusion. Your podcasts on youtube have helped me so much this semester with my Biology 101 class. Thank you for being you. The world needs more passionate, intelligent, and creative people in it. Well done sir.

"... and I hope that's helpful."

I once wrote an assignment on gamification in the classroom after reading an article on the psychology of gaming and why its addictive and how can we use that in a classroom setting. Needless to say I failed that assignment, yet here we are with people in the real world showing how it can work. I will definitely be putting more time into this approach to prepare myself, my students, and hopefully my school, to develop a 'school game'..

BOOZEMAN BIOLOGY! YEAH!

I watched Mr. Anderson’s videos to reinforce my biology education in my first 2 years of college. Years later I’m in still in school, but now its for a post-bacc in secondary ed. Imaging my delight at being assigned to watch some Bozeman Science videos but this time the videos are for educators. I have a wonderful “full circle” relationship with Bozeman Science. First to get my bachelors degree in biology, now to get my degree as a science teacher.

This was absolutely fascinating - as a 16 year old student I would give a lot to be taught like this, I'll use what I've learnt to progress my own learning, thank you.

Paul, I admire your ability to reinvent your class during the summer. That's a really unique idea you got there: to make your class a video game. Thanks for sharing!

You inspire me so much. I really want to be a teacher, and a lot of times the often jaded (and tenured) teachers at my school are bad examples who dissuade me from the career. But then I come across people like you, teachers who are engaging and passionate, and I remember why I'm interested in it in the first place. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! (thumb up so maybe someday he'll see?)

It's always inspiring to see passionate teachers like you who work hard to make change. Thank you Mr.Andersen

Paul was amazing. I am so thankful he agreed to participate in the first TEDx even in Montana. He has great ideas for education and will inevitably go far because of it.

And I hope that was helpful. Yes, yes it was. :) Thank you, Mr. Anderson!

Simply amazing! I would take biology over again just to be in his class.

boi my science teachers have been using this guy for the last 4 years

Lots of love from India .Your videos are helpful for many people here who can't afford expensive coaching .

this guy is my favourite teacher.....he makes the most complicated things so easy for us..legend he is

He and Sal should team up...

I'm a school Teacher & you are one of my Inspiration (you know after Einstein).....I love the way you teach big complicated topics in simple short videos.

I like how he actually cares about his students. I have teachers that don't care how well their students do and think that when an entire class isn't doing well they blame the students. I love Mr. Anderson

Really his method of teaching is very informative and at same time not boring. He revolutionize the art of teaching.. Salute to Mr. Andersen i hope we become like you. Cheers

Great dynamic way of teaching. Its a learning revolution. Thank you.

i don't se how having a flat out ranking system in your class could lead to anything good, but as an individual, this is how I've always wanted school to be like.

Go Paul, go go go! :)

I have learned more from you than most of my bio teachers combined...you are truly amazing! I wish more teachers had the same passion for teaching and love for their students..thank you!

Wow. You are so inspiring, Paul. Thanks for sharing what you do with others.

Your podcasts are amazing sir. I have learnt so much from your videos. I wish i could be there in your actual classroom for learning different methods to teach science.

very inspirational person.....there is a lot to learn from you....you are the best...!

Paul anderson you are the best teacher. I acutally never had any teacher that is close as good as you.

Mr andersen you are literally the best !!! i learn so much from your videos !

Great inspiration in making the instruction more interesting and interactive.

hey! Wow!! Paul Andersen loved your approach towards teaching. Great inspiration sir!! Thank you for the talk.

Completely agree with your ideas on teaching and learning, and I thought that you made your presentation both thought provoking and entertaining. Thanks for sending the link.

It's not the teachers in training who need this. It's the teachers who have stopped learning.

I stood and applauded after watching your vid. I agree. I watch your Biology vids and love your energy and the way you present the material. YOU ROCK!

I will be making my second attempt at Classroom Game Design this school year and this video is educational and inspirational. Thank you!

i love my primary school bio teacher. he made our names into riddles and had us guess. the most interesting teacher i've ever met!

We need more teachers like you

Paul, you're the great! Perhaps one day I could teach like this! Thank you!

I loved your talk , you really inspired me ! I find your videos really useful you do not only help students in your classroom , you are helping students worldwide.. respect from Kuwait

I think that we need to shift the focus towards teaching 'failing' as a positive thing because its how we learn. Succeeding 'all' of the time is not how we learn.. rather its how we feel when we have 'learnt'.

thank you so much, you are making such a huge impact on education, and being a high school student myself, I can't tell you enough how grateful I am! I hope you can reach farther in your dream on changing education, and maybe some of my dreams will come true too.

Paul Anderson, you are so BA! Sincerely, another biology teacher.

"Teachers are great thieves." I am stealing this.

Thanks Paul how lucky they are, I wish have a good teacher for my children. thanks for internet to have access to this.

I am a video game design student and this is simply amazing!

This is such a great idea, what a dedicated guy.

This type of learning is much more fun!

Mr.Anderson!!! You're the best :)

This video should be shown at all the teacher trainings.

This man helped me pass AP Bio.

hope we'll have more mr anderson teaching 🙌

Paul. You are amazing. I am a high school biology teacher. I want to know how to build a video game like this for my students.

my teacher regularly assigns us to watch his videos. he is AMAZING. everything is so clear in his videos...but I'm talking about his Bio courses though, haha...

I've seen Pauls online work - It's excellent, Its among the best i've ever seen. I will be adding a link to his great education in our site.

I want a teacher like you , who teaches me in a dynamic way....

He is so amazing.

This is so great!

I wish that when I get kids I hope they get a teacher like you! I'm reading biologi now and I'm watching your vids and there great even if there in the wrong language ;)

I want that program SO much right now...

simply lovely

You are such an amazing teacher :) I wish I had you :D

yes indeed your lessons are fun

Excelente presentación. Gracias

Excellent video, wonderful instructor, great video game idea, thanks for point out the failures, however I think the successes are more important. I seriously doubt if the kids logged in to look for failure, they likely logged to see how well they did relative to the whole. I do something similar with my students however I use Armis to teach scientific thinking (logical, critical). Each student MUST earn 100%. The drink in the bottle is success not failure.

Thanks for the information. You have inspired me to create a "game like" unit that I called "Tectonics 7" and ran on moodle for my students. It was a great first step for me but has you point out it needs a summer session of improving for the next version. Fun stuff.

Mr Anderson you are the best

Really good, I always thought about it, our kis have to learn how to play and apply their knowledge. Yes we need to redesign our video games platforms to a platform of learning, this ideia is excellent, if you can not change your school system to do that, do not worry I think you can do it alone and apply it to your needs, this is what I do with me and it works.

IIIIII need this type of Professor

Well said!

great teacher and human!

Proud of you!

AWESOME

Great work Paul, please go ahead and teach some Computer Science,would love it watch you break it down.

nice thoughts all the very best

How do I create a system (video game style) like that for my classroom?

Please update us on how the modification you make for next year's class work out.

Brilliant

Great!

totally agree with him

Great Ted talk - maybe now they will unlock some of the computers at school to allow me to get some games going too.

I love Mr. Anderson!hahahha my bio teacher is just...TAT

Couldn't agree more.

oh, Moodle! Love Moodle!

This guy came to my school

LittleBigPlanet 2 has taught me more about Physics than my Physics teacher has.

awesome

"Who would want to be in a class at the Vulcan Science Academy?" My very introverted son, that's who. When he saw that movie at about age 11 spoke right up in the theater and said, "I want to go to school there, Mom!" It's not for every kid but as a self-starter, excellent reader, and dedicated gamer, he would have driven off like a rocket in Mr. Anderson's class. Like all good Vulcans, though, he is still trying to learn a big lesson from this video: failure is part of the process---it's okay.

you are a good teacher, every teacher in the future should be like you! PS. Mr. Anderson is Neo, right? :)

You do a good job

i agree!

I have a kid brother (10) and he loves computer games where he can level up, but he doesn't like school or studying much. So I decided to reward him with eXperience Points for various tasks that involve learning and reading and ever since he is pretty much begging me to give him tasks. We collect his XP in an XLS file. He is lvl8 now :)

Mr. Anderson, welcome back...

As a student it sounds really cool but i really am not sure how much that will help me.

Nice presentaition, Paul.

Isn't this the guy from the bozeman science yt channel?

I feel almost mad with myself for finding this dude only a couple days before. My learning processes would be so much more interesting.
