Flipping the classroom – Bozeman’s Paul Andersen teaches science to millions using old school charisma and new wave technology

Faster than a supercomputer. More powerful than the Hubble telescope. Able to leap tall questions with a single click. Look, up on the screen! …It’s Paul Andersen http://www.bozemanscience.com/ , the Bozeman teacher who changed the course of classroom culture, creates YouTube videos for millions of students around the world and fights the never-ending battle for truth, science and a new way to learn.

Maybe Andersen isn’t Superman, but the Montana State University grad is close. Science teacher extraordinaire, the pioneering Andersen turned his Bozeman High School classroom into a video game, was selected Montana Teacher of the Year and became one of four finalists for the national title. He continues to create YouTube videos with millions of international viewers. And, he has also combined his loves of science and teaching to travel the world helping other science educators up their game.
