Recording good quality audio with an iPod

The three most popular devices for recording audio on an iPod are:

• Xtrememac MicroMemo

• Belkin TuneTalk

• Griffin iTalk

But which is the best though? In the following two 'colourful' vodcasts (marked as 'clean' on Podomatic), Evil Sue and Good Sue road test the first two discussing the pros and cons of each device in their own inimitable way. Check out their MicroMemo and TuneTalk clips here to find out more.

For an overview of how an iPod voice recorder can be used in class, have a look at this clip which looks at the Xtrememac MicroMemo in particular, but which offers useful ideas for any device that can record audio on the move. Check out Jess McCulloch's recent post on using iPods and mobile phones in her languages classroom. An awesome read!

Have a look at this clip too where ESL teacher Monica Arnold from Moody High School demonstrates her uses of iPods in the classroom

There's also this tips and tricks presentation to help you get the most out of an iPod Touch. Thanks to Brian Subia for the advice.
