You can use linked
files for something
other than a rubric.
For more about linked files,
see the NEO and NEO 2 User
Manual.
Tips for using rubrics:
Encourage students to
use their prewriting to
type a rough draft before
presenting them with a rubric.
This encourages students to
use keyboarding skills to
actually revise instead of
looking for typos.
Consider incorporating
requirements that are
commensurate with current
grammar lessons.
Any text that is
outside the <form>
</form> tags will be in
the file workspace itself, not in
the linked rubric.

AlphaSmart Manager can also send assignment rubrics to NEOs. You can
create your own rubric to send, open a text file that contains the rubric, or
select one of the sample rubrics. The rubric will be linked to the file that you
send it to on the NEO; it won't be in the main file.
Follow these steps to send a rubric to NEOs:
1. In AlphaSmart Manager, click the AlphaWord Files to Send tab.
2. Check the number of the file where you want to send the rubric
that if there is existing text in that file on the NEOs, that text will be
removed. The rubric itself will be linked to the file.)
