   What were the challenges faced in doing the task, if any, and explain how were they overcome?

     
    Understanding how to create a Creative Commons licence was my greatest difficulty but using an example from the lecturer, I was able to better understand how to. 

    Were there anything new learnt,as a result of the teaching and learning experience? If   yes, what was it, and explained how you benefited from it.

    From this I learned  the importance of keeping my computer secured from malware and how to protect my devices. I also learnt about creative commons and the types of open educational resources available on the internet.

    Explain how you will use/implement what was covered, in the lesson, in your classroom.
                            
    Firstly, I would use it to educate my students about the importance of acknowledging copyright. Secondly, I will place awareness to the types of OER's available for them to utilize and thirdly I would point out the types of malware that could potentially affect their devices and how they could protect against them.
