Truly enjoyed how easy this was to navigate and learn from! It was very interactive!

I had no idea that there were other AI's beside ChatGPT. I also liked how it gave me ways to prompt the AI to widdle things down.

I have been looking for quick, but beneficial ways to further my teaching career, and this was just that!

This course definitely made me more aware of choosing appropriate and accessible design elements when creating resources.

I was hesitant to use AI before because I wasn't truly sure what it was or how to navigate the platform. This course was well laid out and made the material manageable and approachable. After completing this course, I am more confident in my ability to give AI a try and will actually use it to see what types of lessons I can come up with in my math and leadership classes.

This course was so easy to navigate and explained how to use the mentioned AI in a clear, and concise manner!

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).
