Brooke is an experienced Elementary and Middle School classroom educator and expert digital learning facilitator. She credits her own teaching transformation to the work she’s done with reluctant learners. Finding new ways to reach them influenced Brooke to reshape her classroom into a mixed media learning environment, which eventually led her into working with teachers full time. Brooke strives to help educators create engaging and technology-rich learning experiences for their own classrooms. Brooke has such a natural, approachable style, everyone that has ever met her feels like her best friend!

Brooke is a Google Level 1 & Level 2 Certified Educator and a Google Certified Trainer.

Lauren’s career actually started in graphic design and art direction. When she found herself craving a more fulfilling path, she started exploring the world of education and fell in love. As it turns out, great design and great teaching go hand in hand! This became her mission in her classroom as a Google Innovator, and it quickly grew to her district and other schools within the US when we all quickly shifted to distance learning. She is such an asset to the friEdOnline team as a Learning Experience Designer creating useful, engaging asynchronous learning opportunities. Lauren lives with her husband, daughter and her sweet dog in beautiful Colorado!

Lauren is a Google Level 1 & Level 2 Certified Educator, Google Certified Innovator, and a Adobe Certified Educator.

I really enjoyed navigating through this teacher friendly course which exceeded my expectations. This is really important to those of us who are nearing retirement. Keep up the good work!

I REALLY appreciate being able to gain knowledge that I can start using in my classroom immediately and especially for free through my district. Such a blessing!

This course was very easy to navigate with very beneficial information. It is very user-friendly, and I finished in a very short period of time. It did not drag on for months because it kept my attention throughout the entire course, and each lesson did not take hours and hours to complete like some online courses do.

This course was super helpful and answered so many questions I had about Chromebooks.

I love FriedOnline!!! Easy to understand and navigate!!! Very user-friendly which is important!!! This course will help me to help my students use their Chromebooks.

I advertised this course to teachers as part of my role before I took it and I will continue to do so. It was very manageable time wise and gave practical tips that apply both when I'm using Chrome on a Chromebook and also on a non-Chromebook computer.

Credit is offered for certain courses and is based on the time it takes to complete the course activities. You must complete the course in its entirety to earn credit. The amount of possible credits to be earned from a course is located on the course card. Check with your school district to determine if our courses will count for credit in your district.

Like all friEdTech learning experiences, our goal is to provide engaging and practical learning for all. We strive to make sure every activity is purposeful, intentional, and easily applicable; the time you spend learning won't just be for an audience of one! Each course includes clear learning goals, interactive components, and checkpoints for understanding. After the course, you'll have the opportunity to evaluate your experience and share any additional feedback. We love hearing from you!

BROWSER- We suggest viewing your course with the latest version of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Our courses have several interactive elements which are best experienced in Chrome and Edge.

VIDEOS- Course videos are in friEdOnline or YouTube. And you can always watch them within the course!

DEVICE- The courses will work on all devices, but your best experience will be on a larger screen. If you're choosing between a phone or a monitor - go with the monitor!

Go to friedonline.com and click the “Enroll Now” button. A pop up page will appear and with two joining options.

Join through a site with which you already have an account (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google). This is also referred to as a "single sign-on," or SSO.
Join by creating an account. Enter the required information and create a password. Then, click “Enroll in friEdOnline” and you're in!

If you created an account by adding your information and creating a password (option #2), you can use the “Forgot your password?” function on the Login/Sign up page to reset your password.

If you used the SSO option (Google button and Google sign-in) to create your friEdOnline account, your login information is not stored in friEdOnline and you will NOT be able to use the “Forgot your password?” function. You will need to try logging in with the Google button.

If you have tried both options, you can email us at friedonline@fried.tech.

Log into friEdOnline using the email address initially used when setting up the account.
Note: if you're changing your email due to the email account being inactive, you can still use the email to log in. However, you'll need to provide an updated email address in order to receive important course links and completion certificates.

1. Go to the friEdOnline User Profile page.

2. Click the "edit" button under your name (located in the top center).

3. Change the email address to the desired one and click SAVE.

4. Update any other profile information by using the menu on the left.

Don't forget to SAVE any edits!

1. Create an account using your school email address.
2. Make sure you're on the correct course page and use the link in the provided directions. The provided link will automatically apply the promo code.
3. Make sure your total owed is $0.

4. If you're enrolling in a district-purchased course, you will NOT need to enter any personal payment information. If Paypal opens for any reason, STOP and return to friEdOnline.

Uh oh! Refer to the directions in the original course email. Make sure to use the course link sent by your district in order to correctly access the course. If you're still having trouble, contact the district employee that originally sent enrollment instructions. You can also email us at friedonline@fried.tech.

You'll have course access for a set period of time from the minute you sign up. In general, our courses are available 12 months from enrollment. However, there are times a district will purchase a course for a shorter period of time (ex: two months instead of 12). When enrolling in your course, pay attention to the time span included in the enrollment email receipt. You'll find the start and end day of course availability.

Restart your computer. (Simple, we know. But this little step can be an overlooked quick-fix!)

We strive to make your learning experience flexible and self-paced. Our goal is for users to confidently and independently work through all course material. With that said, you're not alone! Submit a help ticket and we'll get back to you. You also have course classmates for assistance, so we suggest making a social post/discussion post of questions within your course.

If you get stuck, you can email us at friedonline@fried.tech. We'll do our best to respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST.

You can easily find your certificates by going to your friEdOnline Profile. Here, you'll find a list of achievements, in-progress courses, and completed courses. Click the "download PDF" icon next to the corresponding course achievement to download the course certificate.

Great question! Our friEdOnline courses are:

on-demand (completed at your own pace...we love PD in PJs!)
interactive (you’ll be completing engaging tasks as you move through the course)
comprehensive (a full range of topic info and approaches are provided)
asynchronous (not live) learning experiences that you complete when and where you want. You will receive 1-12 hours credit for completing the courses.

Our Facilitated Online Learning Experiences (FOLĒ) combine digital, synchronous webinars, guided assignments via a FriEdOnline FOLE or Google Classroom and includes templates/assignments for extended learning. During a FOLĒ, you will attend live sessions with real, live PD providers who will walk you through the learning materials, more like traditional “live” PD (except not boring and horrible).

Once you…

complete each lesson in this course (look at the navigation menu and check to make sure each one has a checkmark by it), pass the course final assessment with at least 80%, and claim your course completion certificate, you will receive an email from friedonline@fried.tech that contains your individual voucher code.

This email will be sent within an hour of completion of this course.

If you don't receive the email please check your junk mail. If you have double checked each step, and still don’t get your code, please email us at friedonline@fried.tech.

Follow the steps in this document. Remember, if you are in our L1 or L2 Academies you will be emailed a free voucher code upon downloading your course completion certificate.
