Things to Check Before Students Start Quizzing on NEO 2
• Make sure you’ve set the Receiver name and Renaissance Place address in
the Renaissance Wireless Server Utility (see page 4-2).
• In Accelerated Reader RP, set the School and Classroom Student Quizzing
preferences and the Other Reading Series preference for your class. (See
the Accelerated Reader RP Software Manual for instructions.)
• Students need to know this information before they start taking quizzes on
NEO 2 laptops:
• The name you gave the Renaissance Receiver on the Server Settings
tab. Students will need to choose a Renaissance Receiver when they
take quizzes.
• Their Renaissance Place user names and passwords. You can get this
information from the Accelerated Reader RP Student Information
Report.
• The quiz number. On NEO 2, students may only search for quizzes by
quiz number. If students will be using NEO 2 laptops to take quizzes
on a regular basis, consider including quiz numbers on your
Accelerated Reader book labels.
Steps for Taking a Quiz on NEO 2
1. The teacher’s computer must be on, with the Receiver connected. (You
can use the teacher’s computer for other things while students are
quizzing; the computer does not need to be dedicated to quizzing.)
2. Turn the NEO 2 on and press applets.
3. Press  until the cursor is next to Accelerated Reader. Then, press
enter.
The same
preferences apply to
students no matter
where they take quizzes—
on NEO 2 or at a computer—
so you only need to set the
preferences once.
