Next Generation Educational Trends

The presentation below identifies 11 current trends that are shaping and defining Next Generation Education Environments. The order of the trends is based on the input from community members, who participated in a dot voting exercise. Each attendee was able to place 6 green dots on the education trend that they thought was most important for the East Grand School District.
