Using NEO 2 to Complete Accelerated Math Assignments

. . . . .

7. When the teacher ends the session, the teacher will ask you to press 

enter again. You’ll see the message “Session Complete,” and you’ll return 
to the SmartApplets list.

If you are using Accelerated Math RP, your students can use NEO 2 to 
complete assisted-response (multiple-choice) assignments, but not for free-
response assignments or extended-response assignments. For each class, the 
teacher uses the Accelerated Math RP Scoring preference to determine 
whether students can use Responders (and therefore NEO 2) with exercises 
or tests.

Before you can use NEO 2 with Accelerated Math RP, you must have a 
Renaissance Receiver connected to your computer (see page 21), you must 
have AlphaSmart Manager installed (see page 16), and you must have the 
Renaissance Responder client program installed (see the Accelerated Math 
RP Software Manual). 

1. Make sure your students have printed copies of their assignments.
2. Start the Renaissance Responder program and log in with your 

Accelerated Math RP user name and password. (To install the program 
and connect it to your Renaissance Place server, see the Accelerated 
Math RP Software Manual.)

1. Press on/off to turn NEO 2 on.
2. Press applets.
3. Make sure the cursor is next to Responder; then, press enter.
4. NEO 2 will attempt to join the session. If you have connected to a 

Renaissance Receiver before, it will ask if you want to stay connected to 
it; press y for yes or n for no. Then, press enter.
If you haven’t connected to a Renaissance Receiver before, NEO 2 will 
show you a list of networks (Renaissance Receivers). Use the arrow keys 
to highlight the one you want to connect to; then, press enter.
