Licensing Diversity: I learned that digital media requires different legal permissions, ranging from CC0 1.0 (public domain) to the Standard YouTube License where the creator retains all rights.
Ethical Ownership: By choosing a CC0 license for my animation, I realized I can voluntarily waive my copyright to allow others to freely remix or distribute my work.
Verification Matters: Finding the specific Freepik source for an image taught me that "free" media still requires accurate attribution to maintain professional and academic integrity.
Attribution Skills: I practiced providing full credit for assets I didn't create, ensuring that every image, audio file, and video is shared ethically on my ePortfolio.
