[Python] What's the difference between template include and static include in Django?

I'm trying to learn Django at the moment and am trying to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid.

I'm in the process of making my web page more modular in the sense that I am removing hardcoded values in the template (base .html). Doing so, I'm trying to convert hardcoded CDN references (jquery, bootstrap, etc.) to modular pieces that can be included in every web page. Doing so will allow me to change a single file in the future, instead of being forced to go to every web page and make that change.
