A CCELERATED R EADER S MART A PPLET
NEO 2 includes an Accelerated Reader SmartApplet that students can use to
take Accelerated Reader RP Reading Practice Quizzes, Vocabulary Practice
Quizzes, and Other Reading Quizzes right on the NEO 2. The Renaissance
Receiver at the teacher’s computer enables NEO 2 quiz data to be sent to
Accelerated Reader RP.
Preparing to Use NEO 2 with Accelerated Reader RP
Before students can use NEO 2 to take quizzes, you must do the following:
• Have Accelerated Reader RP version 7.5 or higher installed and registered
on your Renaissance Place server.
• Install AlphaSmart Manager version 3.0 or higher on the teacher’s
computer. This will also install or update the Renaissance Wireless Server
Utility, which enables NEO 2 and the Renaissance Receiver to
communicate with Accelerated Reader RP. For instructions, see the NEO 2
Quick Guide or the AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual.
• Make sure the Accelerated Reader SmartApplet is installed on your NEO 2
laptop(s). If it isn’t, you can install it using AlphaSmart Manager. (See
page 1-3.)
• Connect a Renaissance Receiver to the teacher’s computer as described in
the NEO 2 Quick Guide.
• In the Renaissance Wireless Server Utility, name your Renaissance
Receiver and make sure students know the Receiver name. See page 4-2.
• Also in the utility, enter the address of your Renaissance Place server in the
Renaissance Place Settings. (See page 4-2.)
