NEO 2 includes a MathFacts in a Flash SmartApplet that students can use to
practice or take tests right on the NEO 2. The Renaissance Receiver at the
teacher’s computer enables the student’s NEO 2 work to be sent to MathFacts
in a Flash RP.
Preparing to Use NEO 2 with MathFacts in a Flash RP
Before students can use the MathFacts in a Flash SmartApplet on NEO 2, you
must do the following:
• Have MathFacts in a Flash RP version 3.1 or higher installed and registered
on your Renaissance Place server.
• Install AlphaSmart Manager version 3.3 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 MathFacts in a Flash RP. For instructions, see the NEO
2 Quick Guide or the AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual.
• Make sure the MathFacts in a Flash 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 5-2.
• Also in the utility, enter the address of your Renaissance Place server in the
Renaissance Place Settings. (See page 5-2.)
• In Renaissance Place, make sure your students have been added to the
database and enrolled in a MathFacts in a Flash class.
• In MathFacts in a Flash RP, set the Classroom preferences. (For
instructions, see the MathFacts in a Flash RP Software Manual.)
