Retrieving Writing Exercises from NEOs
. . . . .
3. Read the individual file information in the PDF supplement and decide
which text file to work with.
4. Use NEO Manager to send the Write On! text file to file 1 on connected
NEOs (see page 69). (If any supporting files are mentioned in the
supplement, send the supporting file to file 2.) You can modify any of the
text exercises if you’d like once you select them using NEO Manager.
5. Have students complete the work in the file. Students should type their
answers to questions within the angle brackets (< >).
6. To view student work, see the next section.
Retrieving Writing Exercises from NEOs
There are three ways to retrieve writing exercises once students complete
them: you can use NEO Manager, you can have students send their exercises
to your computer, or you can have students print directly from their NEOs.
Using NEO Manager to Retrieve Students’ Exercises
Use NEO Manager to retrieve exercises from either a single NEO or a group of
NEOs. This is the quickest method if you need to retrieve multiple files from
multiple NEOs. See page 52 to find out how to view, print, or save the student
files.
Sending an Exercise Directly from NEO to Your Computer
By following these steps, students can send their exercises to your computer
one at a time. This method lets each student edit, reformat, save, or print his
or her exercise using your computer.
Note: If your students are using NEO 2s, they can also send their work to the
NEO Share software. For more information, see the NEO Share User
Manual.
1. Make sure NEO Manager isn’t running on the computer.
2. On your computer, open the program and file where you want to send the
text.
3. Turn on NEO and make sure you’re in the file that contains the exercise.
Remember that
students should
have entered their
responses between the
angle bracket prompts (<>).
To find student responses,
look for these prompts in the
files.
If your computer is
IR-capable, you can
beam text from a
device to your computer.
See page 207 for details.
