Manager on your computer, you can also use NEO 2 with the 2Know!
Toolbar. Participants can use NEO 2 to respond to questions. Teachers or
session leaders can use it to control the toolbar program as they would use a
teacher Responder. For more information about using the 2Know! Toolbar,
click the Options button in the program and choose Getting Started.
