Setting Up the 2Know! Classroom Response System
Perform these tasks to set up the 2Know! classroom response system:
Assigning a Unique Name to Each Receiver If You Have More than One
When students complete AccelTest assignments using either a Renaissance
Responder or a NEO 2, they need to select the correct Renaissance Receiver. You
should give each Receiver a unique name so students can be sure to choose the
right one. (Each Receiver is named “Renaissance Receiver” unless you rename it.)
Assigning a unique name is especially important if you have more than one
Receiver in your school. You can choose a name that makes it easy for students to
choose the correct Receiver, such as
Mrs Smith’s Class
or
Room 245
.

About NEO 2 setup:
Although NEO 2s
cannot be assigned
owners,
students can use
them to complete
assignments, either in
student-paced sessions or
teacher-paced sessions. For
homework and notes,
Renaissance Responders are
required. NEO 2s do not
require firmware updates
because they receive updates
through the NEO Manager
software.
