Derrall Garrison is an educator deeply invested in integrating technology into learning, advocating for blending AI with DOKs , and employing innovative tools like TinyML in education. With a 24 year tenure in teaching, he’s evolved into a type of STEAM coach, blending instructional technology with hands-on learning. As a Google Innovator and Raspberry Pi Educator, he’s at the forefront of digital education, championing project-based learning and maker spaces. His work underscores the transformative power of passion in teaching, emphasizing the significance of connecting students with real-world technological applications.

Session description

The goal is to present to teachers who haven't completely tapped into the superpower of AI and coding. We learn about prompting for code without being a coder, a new way of thinking about the teacher as experienced creative designer for the classroom, and going small instead of big to cost effective TinyML and the easy Micro:bit based tools for teachers and students. A slide deck will dedicate each slide to a technique and embedded end to end video, topics include prompting code to embed in Google Sites, creating a custom script that interacts with Google Docs, Sheets, two live demos will use audience participation and after briefly focussing on explaining machine learning, pivoting to Micro:bit as a constrained computer for students so teachers see the magnitude of what is possible to go smaller and touch upon downloadable and private small efficient Neural Networks and LLMs.
