Background

About Fern Johnson

My calling into the teaching field began way before I was born. For as long back as my family history goes, we have been in the business of educating people all over the world. In my many years of experience, I have taught in computer labs, math and special education classrooms, coached basketball, and currently teach adult learners how to integrate digital tools and implement digital pedagogy in the classroom. I am very blessed to now work as a digital learning administrator at Plano ISD employees) and contribute to helping educators and their students navigate the tech world and learn how to develop transformative learning design. I help support Dyslexia, English/Language Arts (ELA), Headstart, Early Childhood, Reading, and Special Education. As an education leader passionate about leveraging technology to enhance student learning, I have integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into various aspects of education. I utilize AI tools to streamline lesson planning, differentiate instruction, and support diverse learner needs. My work focuses on exploring AI's potential to improve student engagement, personalize learning experiences, and promote responsible digital citizenship. I lead hands-on workshops for educators, helping them build foundational AI knowledge and develop practical strategies to safely incorporate AI into their classrooms.
