Kids Building Character

Kids Building Character is a program created at Pope John XXIII Catholic School to teach Character traits to the student body using video and computer technology.  With the use of technology, students taught each other and teachers how to use this new emerging technology along with Character Traits. Using Gen Yes mentoring, some teachers are now able to incorporate what they learn into their classroom curriculum too.  
The equipment was purchased from a generous grant from AzTEA/Qwest Foundation for Education.
