About Kelly Holt

Welcome to the intersection of innovation and education! As a dedicated education advocate and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience, my journey through the realms of technology and learning has been nothing short of transformative. With a pulse on the rapid evolution of digital advancements, I’ve spearheaded efforts to bridge gaps in educational and digital literacy practices, particularly focusing on the unique needs of dyslexic learners, who represent one in every five students.

I’ve pushed beyond traditional classroom limitations, crafting solutions that enhance learning experiences while embracing smart devices and multimodal approaches. My commitment to these learners has taken me from the halls of public schools to the freedom of micro schools and homeschool collectives, where I’ve collaborated with founders and parents to navigate the education landscape effectively and creatively.

My exploration of curriculum design and educational products is driven by a passion for transparency in special education, user experience (UX), and authentic student engagement solutions, prompting me to delve into the intricacies of educational law, policy, and pedagogy. With each project and research initiative, I’ve carved my path as a practitioner of learning design, technology, and distance education.

Pursuing an EdD is the latest milestone in my quest to merge my business acumen with my zeal for educational research and innovation. Here, I aim to shape the future of instructional design, infusing my literacy work with cutting-edge technologies and smart wearables. While the data supporting augmented reality (AR), smart wearables, and interactive human-computer technologies continues to grow, my vision is to stand at the forefront of this exciting field of emerging technologies and the creativity it inspires.

You’ve arrived at a hub for passionate leadership and learners. This community believes in harnessing technology to unlock human potential, enhance cognitive performance, and live life by maximizing educational inclusion and advocating for options. The “Cyborg Lifestyle” brand concept will soon expand to include a virtual Smart City School, and through my doctoral studies, I’m eager to further develop this niche idea—contributing to a world where education and technology are balanced yet optimized.

Join me in this educational odyssey as we explore, discover, create, and revolutionize learning.
