Choosing an External Microphone
The STEPS IT Training workshop at IU entitled Video Basics: An Overview of Tools & Resources includes an overview of how to choose an external microphone.
If you are unable to attend this workshop, or if you just want more information about this topic, you might be interested in reading Jeff Towne’s blog article entitled What Microphone Do I Get?
To access this blog, go to:

Jeff gives information about all of the different kinds of microphones available, and then gives a comparison of a small number of the more popular and affordable mics.
