Lindy Hockenbary

Lindy's career began in a technology-equipped classroom, where she first blended teaching with technology. This sparked a journey into the world of supporting educators, encompassing roles in instructional technology, professional development, and curriculum design. Over the last ten years, her consulting work has taken her to schools across the world. These experiences have given her a unique perspective on K-12 education and have been instrumental in her ultimate goal to support classroom teachers in delivering transformative learning experiences. This goal is captured in her books, “A Teacher’s Guide to AI” and “A Teacher's Guide to Online Learning,” and in her daily work. On a typical day, Lindy can be found assisting educational technology companies to meet K–12 educator needs and facilitating hands-on training for educators. Her work, often referred to as the “Lindy touch,” is highly regarded. This has led her to be named a 2023 EdTech Trendsetter. She also holds several EdTech certifications, including Google for Education Certified Trainer, Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert and Master Trainer, and Minecraft Certified Trainer and Ambassador. Based in Bozeman, Montana, surrounded by mountains and her dogs, Lindy continues her mission to improve learning experiences for all.
