Author Spotlight: Paul S. Johnson
Paul Johnson has worked with computers many years. As a computer
support technician, he has assisted many customers by phone with
troubleshooting hardware and software issues along with how to use their
computer systems.
Computer Classes
In January of 1999, Paul began teaching computer software classes for
the Lifelong Learning program at the University of Utah. Since then he
has taught thousands of students all over the Wasatch Front including: Utah and
Salt Lake Counties, Heber Valley, and Davis County. Presently, he is teaching classes for
the Utah
Valley University Community Education program, both in Orem and
right here in Saratoga Springs. Because he had originally been intimidated by
computers and those that gave crash-course instructions on their use, Paul has developed
his course material in a manner that is easy to understand. Paul has had
students give him high praise for his teaching style.
Books
Many years ago, Paul had a very frustrating experience taking a
computer class. While trying to follow the instructor and perform the described tasks on his workstation and take notes, he found it very
challenging. So, when Paul prepared the material for teaching his own classes, he
resolved to make the experience a much better one for his students. He decided
to write his own books with as much detail as possible, and in a way that is
logical and straightforward. His students have often said that they have read other
books and still haven’t learned anything... then they read Paul’s books and it
finally makes sense.
Many of the popular books out there call you a “dummie” or an “idiot”
or “clueless.” On top of those books insulting you, they still don’t help normal
people to use their computers. In contrast, Paul has developed material that has
opened up the world of computing to thousands of people. Paul’s books are available for sale on his new
website, with a very appropriate website address, iamnotadummie.com.
Tutoring
In addition to teaching
classes and writing books (he is finishing a revision of book number twelve), Paul
offers personal tutoring sessions. These personal sessions can include personal
instruction, troubleshooting problems and more. He also offers consultation on
upgrades, new computer purchases, and more. You can find out more about tutoring
on his website.
