Next Generation Systems, LLC Information

Next Generation Systems, LLC is developing an innovative learning method called WordParts. It will be a package of tactile models, software applications, and services that provide teachers and parents with better ways help students gain an understanding of English grammar. The implementation uses 3-D shapes to represent parts of speech and provides both physical and computerized models as tools for students. The tactile nature of these tools leads to better recall and retention of learned information. WordParts can help address a serious deficiency in education. The U.S. Department of Education estimates that 60% of all new jobs in the 21st century will require skills that are possessed by only 20% of the current workforce. Communication and collaboration skills are among the most important traits for a productive workforce. There are over 40 million students in K-12 in the United States who take English every day. With laptops, tablet computers and other mobile devices playing an increasingly important role in the lives of children, an innovative and engaging tool set like WordParts becomes invaluable to those in the educational field.
