iPod Peripherals

[Mary Klemundt]

My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. Through the generosity of a donor, I have the opportunity to pilot the use of 3 iPods in my library. I was hoping to use them to have students practice speeches and monologues, foreign language speaking and reading skills, read poetry, create "historical" radio broadcasts, booktalks, etc.

I'm looking for recommendations of microphones to use in recording. The Belkin TuneTalk Stereo has been the microphones I've seen mentioned most often. Has anyone used this and can you tell me how it's worked out for you? Have you used other microphones? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
