To embed the video I copied the link directly from Youtube. I then linked it to my website.

Note: I chose this video because I thought it was silly and I spent too much time watching through them.

This is an example of an audio file.

This song is named Catsby and was created by Lofi Lopez on Jamendo

I downloaded this song to my device. I then uploaded it to my Google Drive and embedded it into my site.

Lessons learned

This was one of my favorite assignments. I got to use so many different types of websites and learned about how differently certain media can be uploaded/paged. Additionally, I learned so much about copyright and Creative Common licenses, I never really understood what copyright was until I did this assignment!
