Action Learning Project Update

I've managed to narrow my project down to one of two directions.

Option one is creating a design plan for our school library as it transitions from K-8 to K-6. I know that they are wanting to improve technology access as well as modernize the look and feel of the media center. This may be too big in scope, but it is something that is going to happen and needs someone heading the project. There are different ideas as to what all will be included between my principal and media coordinator though, from what I've gathered.

Option two is offering instruction on using video and audio recording devices in the curriculum. I'm not sure that the final goal is exactly a podcast system, but I do think we could use existing technology to both modernize some class projects and record student projects without wasting too much paper. Our principal is almost always willing to invest in the hardware to empower the teachers as long as it looks like it will help increase student learning. I just am not sure which form the initial exposure to the technology should take yet.
