If you’re looking for an inexpensive MP3 player, I love the Philips GoGear 1 GB player. It has two features that are great for schools: rechargeable batteries and a built-in voice recorder. It also has a very convenient retractable USB connection, so you don’t need a cable to connect to your computer (which makes it useful as a USB drive as well). At $99, this is an affordable device for schools.
Good MP3 player for schools
