Lesson Plans
Apple has a collection of lesson plans created by teachers who are using iPods that are published online.
Many of these use an iPod external microphone. You can take a look at an extensive review of the options available. I chose Griffin's iTalkPro.

On the site, you will be able to download a pdf of the lesson plan and listen to a sample.
Here are some brief descriptions of some of the lessons you'll find there:
Radio Show: Students write a radio drama based on a historical event and record their show (complete with commercials) using an iPod and voice recorder

Listening to Letter Sounds: The teacher records a lesson onto an iPod using a voice recorder. Students follow the lesson and use an iPod to practice recording and listening to letter sounds.

Digital Science Experiments: Students listen to instructions prerecorded by their teacher on an iPod. They then record their science experiment using a digital camera and an iPod with a voice recorder and create an iMovie project.

Newcomers Learn Local History: English language learners create a presentation about their community and use an iPod and voice recorder to record it in both English and thier native language to share at a family night event.
