SmartOption Mobile Lab

Setup for NEOs

M A R T

The tips below may help teachers use the SmartOption Mobile Lab with their classes.

• Label the cart shelves, slots, cables, and NEOs with numbers using an artist pen or a

white paint pen. This helps students find their NEOs and see where to connect them.

In some classrooms, putting the NEO number next to the light on the NEO is helpful

so students notice both the number and the green light when the cart is connected.

Within the cart, putting a white dot or cable number on the side of the cables that

faces out helps students see which direction the cord should go into the NEO.

• While labeling NEOs or carts, avoid using teacher names, room numbers, school

names, or similar information that may change.

• If you have more than one cart, number your carts and make the number easy to see

on the cart. You can also put the cart number on the back of your NEOs to help

identify them and keep them in the correct cart.

• Assign NEO numbers to students in a way that promotes orderly use. For example,

you can assign NEOs based on the class seating chart so that when students get their

NEOs, they can walk out of their row and return to their seats in order.

• If more than one teacher or class is sharing a SmartOption Mobile Lab, consider

doing the following:

• Enable file passwords and teach students to password-protect their files. To

find out how to set unique file passwords, see the NEO 1 and NEO 2 User

Manual.

• If you are using a central calendar like GroupWise,

in the calendar to make the cart easier to share, and require a lesson plan and

objectives and sample work to be attached for gathering data for grants or

funding requests.

• If you are not using an automated calendar, use a paper calendar for reserving

the cart. This helps you to gather data to support the purchase of more carts if

necessary.

• Keep a log on top of the cart so teachers can indicate if they have cleared open

work files. This helps prevent other teachers from sending new lessons that

overwrite open student work, causing those files to be lost.

• Have a parent night before you send NEOs home to explain the NEOs to parents and

to provide hands-on training.

• When students will be traveling with the NEOs, you can provide them with small

plastic collapsible file folders to keep the NEOs in labeled with the NEO number,

campus, and teacher name.
