Introducing the first handheld gaming system made specifically for use in educational settings.
The AV2 brings truly engaging programming to classrooms with its support of Adobe Flash, so it can be used to download and play interactive game-style content from your favorite educational publishers. It can record, store, and play music, videos, still images and even eBooks - making it ideal for differentiated learning activities. Playlists offer customized playback of materials with a straight-forward USB connection to a computer, television, projector and even to an amplifier / speakers.
Since it was designed for student use, the AV2 integrates hearing safety into all audio playback modalities with built-in 85dB protection. This feature can even be disarmed for students with special hearing needs.
The AV2 will run for at least 3.5 hours on its built- in rechargeable batteries. It has 4GB of NAND Flash Memory and accomodates up to 16GB on an SD card, for true classroom versatility.

To help launch the AV2, we've converted some of our most popular CardMaster card reader programs (Basic Vocabulary, Everyday Words, Food Words, Phonics, Picture Words, Readiness and Survival Signs) into Flash and installed them on the AV2! (Limited time offer until October 31st)
“The CardMasterâ„¢ helps me promote independence by being able to run independent schedules. The children run the audio card and it directs them from one activity to the next without me or my aids having to provide verbal prompts which are so hard to fade. This is an essential tool when working with children who have autism spectrum disorders.” Maria Bowden K-1 Special Education Teacher (Applied Behavior Analysis) Fernbrook Elementary School Rockaway, NJ
