About Lindy Hockenbary
Technology can transform learning, but only when teachers have the support, clarity, and strategy they need to make it work. And only when EdTech companies understand what actually drives classroom adoption. I help both sides of the K-12 ecosystem get better results from technology. Think of me as a bridge between education and technology. • I help teachers make technology actually work for learning. • I help EdTech companies keep teachers using their product through adoption, implementation, and renewal-focused strategy. My approach comes from being both a classroom teacher and a long-time EdTech advisor. I've delivered 1300+ hands-on trainings for more than 30,000 educators, and I still get the same joy from seeing a teacher feel confident with a new strategy as I did fifteen years ago. I believe technology should make teaching easier, not harder. I also believe EdTech companies should build and support products in ways that respect teachers' time, workflow, and reality. Along the way, I wrote "A Teacher's Guide to Online Learning" and was recognized as a 2025 Leading Woman in AI by ASU-GSV, but what matters most is helping teachers succeed and helping EdTech products become something they actually enjoy using. My mission is to make EdTech work.
