• Transfer to AlphaWord file: Choose this option if you want to send
the report to an AlphaWord Plus file in one of the eight file spaces on
the NEO. Then, type the number of the file you want to send the report
to. If the NEO warns you that the text that’s already in the file will be
deleted, press Y for yes if you want to continue. The file that you sent
the report to will open. On the NEO, the report may wrap across
several lines, making it difficult to read, but if you print the file or send
it to a computer and use a monospace font like Courier, you can see
the report with its proper formatting.
How Students Send Their Data to the Teacher (to NEO
Manager) Using NEO 2
Students who are using KeyWords on a NEO 2 can follow these steps to send
their KeyWords data to NEO Manager. Although the student’s data is sent
after each Accuracy and Speed test, it is sometimes useful to send the data at
other times, such as at the end of a class period in which the student did not
take a test.
Once students send data to NEO Manager, teachers can synchronize it with
Renaissance Place (see page 155) so that they can see the information on
KeyWords RP reports. (Teachers can also send all students’ KeyWords data
from a specific NEO 2 to NEO Manager; see page 138.)
Important: These steps are only for NEO 2s running KeyWords in online
mode, and you must have a Renaissance Receiver connected to your
computer. If you have chosen offline mode (see page 140), you are using
NEO 1, or you do not have a Renaissance Receiver, you need to connect the
NEOs to your computer to collect and report on the data.
1. In KeyWords, select your name (or your student’s name) from the student
list and press enter.
2. You may be shown a list of 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 file passwords are
enabled for
AlphaWord Plus
(see page 72), you must enter
the password for the file
you’ve chosen before the
KeyWords report can be
saved there. You can
substitute the master
password for the file
password.
NEO Manager does
not need to be open
when students send
their data.
