Deb Johnson holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Memphis and has taught computer applications classes for 30 years. She holds certifications in Microsoft key applications. She has worked in private industry, government, education and private consulting, focusing on helping users get their work done faster and more efficiently. She has limited her work to part-time since her first child was born in 2000. He is at UT (a RECA graduate) and his sister is in middle school at RECA. Deb loves bike riding or hiking with her family (including her husband of 39 years) in her spare time, and enjoys making her electronics cooperate. Deb teaches RECA’s Keyboarding/Microsoft Office 365 class to middle- and high-schoolers. She has observed that, in today’s high-tech world, the ability to navigate computer applications is considered basic literacy. She has many favorite verses, but the passage that applies best to her computer class is I Thessalonians 4:11-12: “…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… and work with your hands…so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.”
