The 2Know! classroom response system encourages student participation
and gives teachers instant access to student work on tests or assignments or
student responses to verbal questions.
Your kit includes a Renaissance Receiver™ and Renaissance Responders™
that use radio frequency (RF) technology.
The Renaissance Receiver and Renaissance Responders
The Renaissance Receiver
The Receiver enables your Responders
to communicate with software on your
computer so that students can receive
questions and send their responses
and so that you can monitor student
progress. To connect the Receiver to
your computer and set a name, see
page 6.
Renaissance Responders
Students or other groups use the Responders to enter
answers to questions sent from the AccelTest
software, the 2Know! Toolbar, or Accelerated Math
RP. If you are using AccelTest, students may also use
Responders to complete homework or to see notes
from the teacher.
Each Responder has two AA batteries installed. To
save battery life, Responders shut down after 30
minutes of inactivity, but any answers entered before
then are not lost. Students can usually continue
assignments they didn’t finish.
You can also use
NEO 2 laptops with
the Renaissance
Receiver. If you already have
NEO 2 laptops, see the NEO 2
Quick Guide for more
information.
