This week's homework took me longer than any other because I was not aware of all of the limitations when creating a digital story. I had never heard of any of the rules or regulations for copywrite when making a digital story. Luckily I only used my own photos, so I didn't need to worry about using pictures that were acceptable. The music was more difficult to make sure that it fit into the legal boundaries or copywrite.

I also found it very hard to think of a good story to tell with my pictures. I chose to do my first one on a visual story of La Alhambra, from Granada, Spain. I studied abroad there last semester and got to see La Alhambra everyday, so I have plenty of pictures and memories from this piece of architecture. The next story I did was a little show of me and my siblings accompanied by some sibling quotes. The very last one that I created was of my favorite architecture from traveling through Europe. I recorded several voice descriptions of the pictures that I used.

Overall I think I learned a lot about copywrite laws and how to make legal stories. I don't really see how this is relevant to teaching mathematics, because there is no real relevance of math in digital stories, but I think that this information might be helpful for other things in life.
