NSTALLED ON THE
SmartApplets are programs that are installed on your NEO 2. These
programs allow you to write on the NEO 2, use it as you would use a
Renaissance Responder with AccelTest software, Accelerated Math RP, or the
2Know! Toolbar, practice keyboarding skills, perform calculations, change
settings, administer quizzes to your students, or "beam" files from one NEO
to another NEO 1 or NEO 2.
All NEO 2 laptops come with these SmartApplets installed:
• Responder—The Responder SmartApplet allows you to use a NEO 2 as
you would use a Renaissance Responder. Students can use it to complete
AccelTest assignments or Accelerated Math RP assisted-response
assignments. You can also use NEO 2 with the 2Know! Toolbar.
• AlphaWord Plus—This is the program that opens when you first turn on
the NEO 2. The writing that you do on NEO 2 in files 1–8 is done in
AlphaWord Plus.
• Accelerated Reader—If you have an active subscription to Accelerated
Reader RP, you've installed AlphaSmart Manager on teacher computers,
and you've connected Renaissance Receivers to teacher computers,
students can use this SmartApplet on a NEO 2 to complete Reading
Practice Quizzes, Vocabulary Practice Quizzes, and Other Reading Quizzes.
• KeyWords—KeyWords allows students to learn and practice
keyboarding. (On UK laptops, KAZ is included instead of KeyWords.)
• Control Panel—The Control Panel allows you to change settings for the
NEO 2 and for some SmartApplets.
• Beamer—Beamer allows you to send files to other NEO 1 or NEO 2
laptops without using cables (using infrared technology). You can disable
beaming between NEOs on the AlphaSmart Manager Settings tab.
• Calculator—This program allows you to do calculations right on your
NEO 2. (It can be disabled using the Control Panel settings.)
