About

Matt Holley serves as the Director of Emerging Technologies for Lubbock-Cooper ISD, where he helps shape how technology transforms teaching and learning. An educator, author, presenter, and lifelong technology enthusiast, Matt is passionate about exploring emerging tools, challenging traditional thinking, and creating opportunities for meaningful innovation in education.

Matt is the author of This Might Flop, a book that encourages educators to embrace creativity, take calculated risks, and recognize that meaningful progress often begins with a willingness to try something new.

With a Master’s in Technology and Learning, Matt believes in building forward-thinking cultures where curiosity is encouraged, innovation is celebrated, and taking a chance on something new is part of the learning process.

Outside of education, you'll likely find him saltwater fly fishing, geeking out over Star Wars, experimenting with the latest gadgets, or finding another piece of technology he probably doesn't need but absolutely wants to try.
