Facilitated Learning Experiences
Our Facilitated Learning Experiences (FOLĒs if they’re online) can be in person or virtual. We will help you select the right training to meet your needs. We use a blend of strategies to keep teachers engaged in their learning and focus on tools and strategies that can be immediately implemented. Whenever possible, we provide templates to get teachers started without long, complicated build times, and we increase accountability and interactivity by asking teachers to actively participate by completing assignments through your learning management system of choice, for example: Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Schoology, or Canvas.
Get in touch with our team to discuss your Facilitated Learning Experience.
Types of Faciliated Learning Experiences
Facilitated In-Person Learning Experience
A wise person once said, “If I could learn to use technology through using technology, I would already know how to use technology!” and while we really know and believe we CAN help you learn the technology skills you need to be successful as a teacher, principal, counselor, etc. we do understand that there is just NO substitute for meeting and learning face to face. Our Facilitated In-person Learning Experiences can be customized to work with your audience, location and schedule because our talented Learning Guides will come to your school or district!

FOLE- Facilitated Online Learning Experience
What exactly is a FOLĒ? At friEd, we avoid the word “webinar” because we strive to make every virtual experience engaging and like we are right there learning with you, so it’s not JUST a webinar, it’s a Facilitated Online Learning EXPERIENCE! These virtual, in-person learning events with customizable schedules and options, can be held over Zoom or Google Meet, depending on the audience size and the goals we are trying to achieve. Each experience is unique with someone always there to answer questions, engage learners in relevant, meaningful content, and get them excited about the learning. Reach a larger audience, and allow your audience to learn from the comfort of their own homes or classrooms.
