Ask Questions “On The Fly” Without Entering Content

With the built-in 2Know! Toolbar, the 2Know! Classroom Response System comes ready to use – from the moment you take it out of the box and install it. No set-up is necessary. Just ask questions, and as your students enter answers into their NEO 2s, you get instant responses displayed in colourful charts and graphs.

The 2Know! Toolbar makes it easy to gauge students’ understanding instantly during class without importing or creating questions and answers. Designed for spur-of-the-moment quizzes or surveys, the Toolbar is also ideal for interactive whiteboards.

The 2Know! Toolbar floats above other applications on your computer screen, interactive whiteboard, or projection screen. Using a designated NEO 2, you can control the software from anywhere in the classroom.

Response data is available in several easy-to-read graphical formats so you can see if students understand what you are teaching.

The Pulse feature tells you how many students understand a concept so you’ll know when to move on to the next lesson.

Charts Display Student Response Data Immediately

Data is available in several easy-to-read graphical formats so teachers can get a visual representation of how well students understand what they are teaching.

This multiple choice graph displays the number of responses to each given answer and shows how many students answered correctly.

AccelTest Software Helps You Easily Create Formal, Personalised Assessments

With the optional AccelTest software, included with the NEO 2 SmartOption Mobile Lab, you can easily create formal assessments, quizzes, tests, surveys, assignments and more. Everything can be saved, edited, and used time and again, year after year.

In addition, you can prepare assessments using 8,000 ready-made content items included with the software. You can even download sets of questions that correspond to popular textbooks.

Every NEO 2 laptop includes a Responder SmartApplet that provides smooth integration with AccelTest software. Teachers load the AccelTest software on to their classroom computer (Windows or Macintosh) and then use the program to set up classes, assign work to individual students, and create more formal assessments – such as polling questions, quizzes, tests, assignments, and instructional tools.

• Wireless Communication
  AccelTest allows you to create and send question and answer choices that you can personalise for each one of your students. This eliminates the embarrassment factor for students, and gives you instant assessment information that informs your instruction. The questions are viewed and responded to by students using their NEO 2 keyboards, eliminating the need for paper, projector, or television. NEO 2’s classroom response functionality works in combination with a Renaissance Receiver Kit, supporting wireless teacher-to-student-to-teacher communication.
  
• Unlimited Quizzing
  Using AccelTest, you can create and store a nearly endless supply of reusable quizzes, tests, and other exercises to assess students’ performance in virtually any subject, in conjunction with virtually any textbook. Real-time scoring of multiple-choice, ranking, true/false, yes/no, and numeric response questions enables educators to know immediately how well students are learning, provide personalised instruction, and make teaching more effective.
  
• Eliminate Hand Scoring
  With AccelTest, you’ll save time by automating assessment scoring and by having results go immediately to the grade book. As a result, you’ll spend less time on paperwork and record-keeping tasks and more time doing what you love – teaching!

As students enter answers, results are computed and saved automatically. At a glance you can see how your class performed.

AccelTest makes it easy to set up quizzes, tests, and other exercises in just minutes. Quiz questions can be edited or saved and used again.

You can assess a single student or an entire class, and the results can be viewed instantly. You can also see precisely which students have responded.

Turn Your Students Into Active Learners

With NEO 2s, your students will hang on your every word because they never know when you’ll ask a question that requires them to enter a response. The NEO 2s communicate with your desktop software via RF wireless technology – which is far better and more reliable than IR-based communications.

The NEO 2’s screen can display both questions and answer choices, eliminating the need to print or project the questions as required by other response systems.

The 2Know! Classroom Response System with NEO 2 comes included with the Renaissance Receiver Kit for NEO 2 or with the NEO 2 SmartOption Mobile Lab.
