Things to Check Before Students Start Using the MathFacts in a Flash
SmartApplet on NEO 2
Make sure you’ve set the Receiver name and Renaissance Place address in
the Renaissance Wireless Server Utility (see page 5-2).
Make sure students know the name you gave the Renaissance Receiver on
the Server Settings tab. Students will need to choose a Renaissance
Receiver when they work in the MathFacts in a Flash SmartApplet.
Make sure students know their Renaissance Place user names and
passwords. You can get this information from the MathFacts in a Flash RP
Student Information Report.
If you have younger students, explain how the questions and answers are
displayed on the screen and how to select or enter answers.
How Students Use NEO 2 with MathFacts in a Flash
1. The teacher’s computer must be on, with the Receiver connected.
(Teachers can use the computer for other things while students are
working in MathFacts in a Flash; the computer doesn’t need to be
dedicated to this task.)
2. Turn the NEO 2 on by pressing on/off; then, press applets.
3. Press
until the cursor is next to MathFacts in a Flash. Then, press
enter.
4. The first time you use the MathFacts in a Flash SmartApplet, it will list the
Networks that are available. (Networks are Renaissance Receivers
connected to computers.) Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight
the Receiver you want to connect to; then, press enter.
If you have chosen a Receiver before, the program may ask if you want to
stay connected. Press Y for yes or N for no; then, press enter. (If you
choose no, you’ll need to select another Receiver.)
The name that you
gave the
Renaissance
Receiver is the one
students will see in the
Networks list. See page 5-2
to find out how to change the
name.
