AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual
AlphaSmart Manager 2 helps you manage files, settings, and programs
(SmartApplets) for NEOs. With AlphaSmart Manager, you can manage as
many as thirty NEO 1 and/or NEO 2 units connected to an AlphaHub in a
SmartOption Mobile Lab. You can also use AlphaSmart Manager to manage
just one NEO using a direct USB connection.
With AlphaSmart Manager you can do the following:
• Send text, rubrics for assignments, or Write On! lessons to AlphaWord Plus
files on connected NEOs.
• Get AlphaWord Plus files from connected NEOs and view, print, and/or
save the files. Retrieving files from all NEOs in AlphaSmart Manager is
faster than sending files one by one on each NEO.
• Retrieve students' KeyWords work from NEOs, view reports about student
progress in KeyWords, and synchronize the data with Renaissance Place.
• Install and delete SmartApplets (programs for your NEOs).
• Change settings for connected NEOs or one of the SmartApplets on the
NEOs. For example, you can change the master password or file passwords.
You can also set a send list password for AlphaSmart Manager.
• Keep track of the current number of NEOs and their status.
With AlphaSmart Manager and a SmartOption Mobile Lab, you can make
sure an entire group of NEOs has the same files, making it easy to set up
NEOs for a class or another group.
