100 Final Product Ideas for Independent, Passion and PBL Projects
Giving students voice and choice in how they demonstrate their learning is key to keep students engaged. We’ve provided 100 final product ideas to help you and your students dream up different possibilities of showing their work. We also recognize that guiding students in coming up with the right final product can be tricky. Students shouldn’t just make a movie because they like making movies or design a website because they are already good at it. There are a few very important steps to address before students can land on an *appropriate* final product. Students need to think of goals, audience and relevance before choosing a final product.
How to Choose The Right Final Product
1) STEP 1: Set a Goal — What is the student trying to accomplish with final product?
Eg. Solve a Problem, Showcase a body of work, Start a Business, Raise Awareness, Share new knowledge…
2) Define Audience — Who are you trying to reach with your work?
Eg. Student Body, Peers, Parents, Community, Local Businesses, Universities, the elderly….
3) Identify Channels to Best Reach Audience — Where does your intended audience hang out?
Eg. Social Media like Instagram, Platforms like podcasts or Tumblr, places like the mall or events like music concerts….
Use Spinndle’s templates to scaffold your students from ideation to application. Templates help your students come up with a topic of interest, define problem, empathize with user/audience, brainstorm solutions, set goals, identify audience, set objectives and timelines.
Sign up for a Spinndle account to access project planning templates, as well as, a project guide to help students explore, investigate, create and present their work. Spinndle’s roadmaps provide students with a step-by-step project plan with clear choices along the way.
Once students have determined their goals, the audience they are trying to reach and channels to best reach that audience, they can start brainstorming their final products. Below is a list of final product ideas broken down by category to get their wheels turning!
