Lindy Hockenbary, aka "LindyHoc," is the bridge between education and technology. Everything she does starts with one question: what's best for kids? That means helping educators think critically about technology, use it purposefully, and teach students to navigate it with confidence and care.Her journey began in a technology-equipped classroom, where she first blended instruction with innovation. Since then, she has led more than 2,000 hands-on trainings for over 50,000 educators across all 50 states and more than 15 countries, authored "A Teacher's Guide to Online Learning," and supported schools around the world as they navigate digital learning, AI literacy, and instructional change.
