At a session at WMA last year we were introduced to the Zoom H-1 Handheld Digital recorder. It was extremely easy to use, produced great recordings, and is relatively inexpensive. What I don't know is how well it would hold up to classroom use as you describe.

We have a series of education "trunks" that go out to schools around the state with props and curriculum for schools to build a lesson around. One of the ideas we have is for an old-time radio trunk. One of the features we would like to have is to allow the instructor, with script and props, to record students creating a radio show. They would then transfer the recording to a computer to make a CD of the program. The questions are: Has anyone done anything like this before? Does anyone have any ideas for digital recording devices that would be easy to use by teachers, but also durable enough to be out on the road in a variety of classroom situations? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance for your input!
