MP4/Handheld Gaming Device

For personalized instruction and differentiated learning activities, teachers love the AV2 as the digital version of the CardMaster card reader for its form factor and ease of navigation that digital natives are used to.

Our AV2 is the first MP4/Handheld Gaming system designed specifically to engage students in classrooms and other educational settings. It supports AdobeĀ® flash for downloading and playing interactive game-style content from your favorite educational publishers. Ideal for literacy and language learning, it can record, store, and play videos, music, photos and even eBooks.

To help students learn about safe listening practices and avoid permanent hearing loss, the AV2 has integrated hearing safety with its built-in 85dB protection for all its audio playback modalities. This feature that can also be disarmed for students with special hearing needs.

Playlists offer customized playback of materials with a straight-forward, high-speed USB 2.0 connection to a computer, television, projector, and even to an amplifier/speakers. The AV2 will run for at least 3.5 hours on its built-in rechargeable batteries and has a built-in microphone, camera & speaker as well as both 3.5mm stereo headphone & A/V output jacks. It includes 4GB of NAND Flash Memory and accommodates up to 16GB on a mini SD card for true classroom versatility.

“Many teachers struggle to find appropriate strategies and materials to help them differentiate instruction. Anchor activities provide students with short routine activities that require little or no support from the teacher. The CardReader and phonics programs fulfill this need. The teacher is now able to differentiate instruction and yet be assured their students are engaged with meaningful independent practice opportunities.”
