Just wanted to post an update: We ended up getting a Zoom H1 recorder and so far it is working out nicely. The built-in mics are very sensitive and pick up the kids well. Also, we got the accessory kit with it that includes a neat little tabletop stand for the recorder as well as a padded case to keep it in for travelling.
Thanks again for all your suggestions and ideas.

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!
