Embedded Files
I had to find an image, audio file, animation, and video to upload or embbed into my webstie. Then I had to search for their licensing information if they had it listed and if they had any limitations involving being shared.

Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned
During this lesson I realized that I have never considered licensing of works outside of crediting sources when writing papers. I was aware that with large corperations like Disney that they have a lot of limitations when it comes to the public being able to use their characters. I think that I typically forget about smaller artists also having the same power when licsening their work and being able to control who gets to share it and what happens with it. I felt like this experience was very beneficial for me to realize that even outside of academics crediting the creator is very important.
