Hence, my search for the perfect noise-canceling, iPad-friendly microphone headset...which I have yet to find.
For now, I am using a funny little combo of a regular headset + adapter + sound proofing tape + electrical tape (or a USB headset with the Apple camera adapter kit). This allows up to 5 or 6 children to record in a room at once with minimal background noise. As long as my students keep the microphones at the proper distance from their mouths and the adapters do not fail, (as there were some that did not pick up any voice at all) the system works. I will not give up on recording even though the projects will not sound perfect. I will just continue my search for a more convenient, reliable system, or better yet - an iPad headset that works.
I deployed this device I evice for multiple users to listen and/or mix various sources. Not for recording but the price is great for this device. I beta tested with two lower school teachers and within 1 week had requests from everyone. Reading centers.....makes one device accessible to several users at once. It's a start.
