Future Project Ideas

Guidelines and a rubric for your future project are here.
A slideshow that illustrates how to organize your project is here.

Ideally, the format you choose for your future project will tell something about your interests and your overall future view.  Think imagination will be important?  Make sure your format is imaginative.  Think the future will be hi-tech?  Make sure your format isn't "old-school."  Here are some ideas and formats to consider:

  • Use Inklewriter to write an interactive (choose your own adventure) story online
  • Storybird is a place to write an illustrated children's story online. In the olds days . . .  Now we . . .  MyStoryEditor allows you to write your own story and add photographs.
  • CartoonCamera allows you to take photos and then make cartoons out of them.  These could then be used as the basis for a slideshow.
  • Prezi is a website that helps create dynamic and professional-looking presentations / slideshows. 
  • MindMeister is similar to Prezi -- some people may like it even more.
  • The Haikudeck website allows you to quickly create a visually stunning slideshow that will make your old LibreOffice slideshow look so retro.   Plus it has a built in image search feature that provides you with copyright free images.
  • Want to get even more creative and keep things moving?  Powtoon helps your create animated slideshows and presentations.
  • Use Flashissue or Lucidpress to create an online newsletter / newspaper of the future.
  • Storyworth is a app that helps you create an oral history project involving responses from family members or others.
