Retrieving Writing Exercises from NEOs
There are three ways to retrieve writing exercises once students complete
them: you can use AlphaSmart Manager, you can have students send their
exercises to your computer, or you can have students print directly from their
NEOs.
Using AlphaSmart Manager to Retrieve Students’ Exercises
Use AlphaSmart 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 9 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.
1. Make sure AlphaSmart Manager isn’t running.
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.
4. Connect NEO to your computer using a USB cable.
5. On your computer, make sure the cursor is blinking in the file that you
want to send the exercise to. If not, click in the file to make it active; this
ensures the student’s exercise will be sent there.
6. On NEO, press
send. The NEO displays a progress bar and a
percentage of how much text has been transferred.
7. When the transfer is complete, unplug NEO and save the file on your
computer.
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
the NEO and NEO 2 User
Manual for details.
