This document discusses the importance of character education in schools. It teaches morals, manners, ethics, conflict resolution, and respect. Character education is important because parents can't always provide it, so teachers must through lessons on technology balance, respect, and morality at a young age. It provides examples of using tools like YouTube, QR codes, Voki, posters, and Facebook to create videos and activities teaching table manners, hygiene, anti-bullying, and how to handle conflicts. Character education lays the foundation for a successful classroom by ensuring students receive a well-rounded education.
