Setup for NEOs

M A R T

• Create a "startup" send list to help reset your NEOs at the beginning of the year. The

send list could set the master password you want, enable file passwords, and set your

KeyWords settings.

• Teach students to save files immediately upon beginning an

assignment by pressing ctrl-S. This helps prevent loss of student work if files

are cleared or overwritten.

• Teach students to put an automatic heading on every document they create.

• Use the pocket on the cart for gathering writing samples.

• Create "beam schemes" so you can send out documents quickly without disrupting

the class. Some teachers use row and pod schemes or assign student leaders who

accept files and send them out.

• Keep a notebook for recording problems students have encountered and how they

solved them. (Students can write this information in the notebook or type it into a

NEO, print it out, and put it in the book.) Have one NEO leader each week help

check connections, answer questions, and get the NEOs out.

• Photocopy the shortcut tips or needed symbols, enlarge the copy, and laminate it to

put on the wall.

• You can use one of the files on NEOs to record the progress of each of your reading

groups. While a reading group is meeting, have a "recorder" use a NEO to document

new vocabulary, unanswered questions, main events, quotes, etc.

• Clean files off your NEOs on a regular basis (such as weekly or at the end of each

grading period) to keep too many files from being stored on the NEOs and to remove

old files that are no longer needed.

• Delete all KeyWords students when you have finished all keyboarding instruction.

(Remember: keyboarding best practices recommend daily instruction until all 16

units are complete, followed by weekly or biweekly practice sessions.)

• Use the QuizManager program to delete all AlphaQuiz quizzes as needed.

Remember: each NEO can hold up to four quizzes.

• At the end of the school year, use AlphaSmart Manager to reset all devices. This

returns NEOs to their original factory default settings so they are ready to go for the

next school year.
