Students can also
view Progress
Reports and Last
Lesson Reports. See
page 5-9. Reports are also
available in KeyWords in
Renaissance Place; see
page 5-37.
If file passwords are
enabled for
AlphaWord Plus (see
page 3-4), you must enter the
password for the file you've
chosen before the KeyWords
report can be saved there.
You can substitute the master
password for the file
password.
One of the teacher options is the ability to create a group progress report. This
report provides information on each student's last lesson, including the
student's goals and actual performance for speed and accuracy and whether
the student passed. The report includes only those students who have used
KeyWords on this NEO.
Follow these steps to create the report:
1. In KeyWords, move the cursor next to Teacher options and press enter.
2. Type the master password and press enter.
3. Move the cursor down next to Create group progress report and press
enter.
4. Select one of the options and press enter:
Print
Choose this option if you want to print the report directly. Then, press print.
(NEO must be connected to a printer or be able to send the file to a printer
wirelessly.)
Send directly to computer
Choose this option if you want to send the report to a file on your computer.
a. Make sure AlphaSmart Manager is not running on the computer.
b. Connect your NEO to the computer via USB cable (or AlphaHub) as
directed by the NEO.
c. Open the file on the computer. (For best formatting results, use a
monospace font like Courier for the report text.)
d. Press send on the NEO.
e. Disconnect the cable when the file has been sent.
Transfer to AlphaWord file
Choose this option if you want to send the report to an AlphaWord Plus file in
one of the eight file spaces on the NEO. On the NEO, the report may wrap
across several lines, making it difficult to read, but you can then transfer the
file to a computer or printer and see the report with its proper formatting.
Sending reports to AlphaWord Plus is also useful because if you are using
several NEOs with AlphaSmart Manager, you can use that program to
retrieve the files from multiple NEOs at the same time, and you can then
view, save, or print the reports.
