NSTALLED ON THE
SmartApplets are programs that are installed on your NEO. These programs
allow you to write on the NEO, practice keyboarding skills, perform
calculations, change settings, administer quizzes to your students, or "beam"
files from one NEO to another.
All NEOs come with these SmartApplets installed:
• AlphaWord Plus—This is the program that opens when you first turn on
the NEO. The writing that you do on NEO in files 1-8 is done in AlphaWord
Plus.
• KeyWords—KeyWords allows students to learn and practice keyboarding
skills.
• Beamer—Beamer allows you to send files to other NEOs without using
cables (using infrared technology). You can disable beaming between NEOs
if you wish on the AlphaSmart Manager Settings tab.
• Control Panel—The Control Panel allows you to change settings for the
NEO and for some SmartApplets.
• AlphaQuiz—AlphaQuiz allows students to take quizzes on the NEO. If
you'd like to use this program, you need to install QuizManager and
QuizDesigner on your computer. You can create quizzes on your computer
using QuizDesigner, and then send them to one or more NEOs using
QuizManager. (See page 12.)
• Calculator—This program allows you to do calculations right on your
NEO. (It can be disabled using the Control Panel settings.)
