I appreciate the tips on showing appreciation and gratitude in the classroom. Can you post a future video with examples of this in real classrooms? The footage from the gratitude jar shows footage from a self-paced classroom, where students are turning in Mastery Checks, not appreciation posts.

Good eye, Mr. Ota! Thanks for watching. I am one of the collaborators on this video. While we strive for authenticity in all of our work at Edutopia, in this instance we really wanted to include this useful strategy but didn't have classroom footage that was a perfect match. Know any classrooms using gratitude jars that we might be able to go capture?🙃

@edutopia how could I get copyright authorization to use your video for an assignment of a course I am taking?
