In this project, we were finding different types of digital media on a website called Creative Commons. The link leads you to the search engine, where you can find what you're looking for. Below, I'll share my examples for an image, a video, an audio, and an animation.

I found this by searching "English Cottage" on the Creative Commons website. It took me to Google Images, which then took me to Wikipedia Commons.
I downloaded the file from Wikipedia Commons. It is under the CC BY-SA 2.O license, which means anyone can use it - for sharing in any medium, and they can add to it, as long as they still follow the rules of attribution and redistribution:

This is an example of embedded video. Its from one of my favorite DIY creators, Rachel Maksy, where she turns her sewing room into a Hobbit hole!
The only thing I could find was the embed code, which Youtube offered up, but I couldn't find any licensing information.

Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned
I learned about licensing and digital ethics, a lot of which I hadn't entirely considered before. Of course, I considered things like copying and plagiarizing, or crediting/citing something when you use it, but I didn't think of using AI, for example, as a way to make more money. I didn't use any of the websites to make any digital media, but I did look through them and watched some tutorials. I'll use them in the future, hopefully!
