Before we talk about the InTec team, we want you to know about FOCUS and Schoology. In case you haven't heard, FOCUS is our student information system (SIS) and gradebook. Schoology is our Learning Management System (LMS). Together, these make a hub for teachers and students to digitize the classroom in case of absence, pandemic, or just any other normal day.
PDFlyer-Current.pdfOnce your PCPS credentials are active,
check out the FOCUS and Schoology online learning modules above.
Support for FOCUS and Schoology is provided by email: focus@polk-fl.net and schoology@polk-fl.net.
InTec
InTec
Your instructional technology team is made up of six Teacher Resource Specialists/Trainers (TRSTs) and two Digital Learning Coordinators (DLCs) in the School Technology Services department. We aren't tech support; we're classroom support! We assist our fellow teachers through asking questions, partnering and planning with you, and helping you integrate technology into your lessons.
