WHAT YOU RECEIVED The Renaissance Receiver and Renaissance Responders 4 WHAT YOU RECEIVED The 2Know! classroom response system encourages student participation and gives teachers instant access to student work on tests or assignments or student responses to verbal questions. Your kit includes a Renaissance Receiver™ and Renaissance Responders™ that use radio frequency (RF) technology. The Renaissance Receiver and Renaissance Responders The Renaissance Receiver The Receiver enables your Responders to communicate with software on your computer so that students can receive questions and send their responses and so that you can monitor student progress. To connect the Receiver to your computer and set a name, see page 6. Renaissance Responders Students or other groups use the Responders to enter answers to questions sent from the AccelTest software, the 2Know! Toolbar, or Accelerated Math RP. If you are using AccelTest, students may also use Responders to complete homework or to see notes from the teacher. Each Responder has two AA batteries installed. To save battery life, Responders shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity, but any answers entered before then are not lost. Students can usually continue assignments they didn’t finish. You can also use NEO 2 laptops with the Renaissance Receiver. If you already have NEO 2 laptops, see the NEO 2 Quick Guide for more information. WHAT YOU RECEIVED Software for the 2Know! Classroom Response System 5 Software for the 2Know! Classroom Response System The 2Know! classroom response system comes with AccelTest™ software and the 2Know! Toolbar. You can also use it with Accelerated Math™ RP. The Receiver and Responders work with one program at a time. If you try to use it with more than one of these programs, the Receiver and Responders will recognize the one you started first. AccelTest Using AccelTest software, you can create your own quizzes, tests, and assignments for any subject and score student responses quickly. Students can complete some types of assignments using Responders; the scores are entered automatically in the AccelTest gradebook. If you want to install this software, use the AccelTest software CD in the kit. You’ll find instructions in the AccelTest Software Installation Guide you received. You’ll find tips for using AccelTest starting on page 23. 2Know! Toolbar This simple program lets you get real-time responses from Responder users. You can ask multiple-choice, true/false, numeric-response, pulse, or short- answer questions. This can help you immediately assess whether your students understand the concepts you’ve been discussing. To install the 2Know! Toolbar, see the CD at the back of this guide and the software instructions that start on page 16. Accelerated Math RP You can also use the Receiver and Responders with the Renaiss…
