Welcome to
ESL Printables,
the website where English Language teachers exchange resources:
worksheets, lesson plans, activities, etc.
Our collection is growing every day with the help of many teachers. If
you want to download you have to send your own contributions.
I don�t understand why so many people downloaded this worksheet. All the images are not free. It is obvious if you look at the preview. But over 50 people downloaded it and many people left positive comments for it.
Hi Pinky you are a hundred % right. Sometimes some people manage to go " in the betweens" and nobody says a word. You are correct, everyone can see the watermark.
hi olindalima! i�m sorry to sound naive but I still don�t get it... it�s not that i downloaded it; i simply want to learn and avoid future mistakes ... thanks again :)
I can see day by day that members report on images being not free, scanned or copied from books. I would really like to know what the rules are regarding the use of images. It�s obvious that images from free websites are ok to use, but if you take a deep look into all the worksheets, you can see that at least hundreds of them use scanned pictures from books. I could read some days ago that there was a kind of agreement here as everybody said if you state the source of the pictures/images or even texts or exercises, it is ok to �publish� them here. So what do you think?
As someone said before: a never ending mess!!!I can�t draw so I use many sources: books, net, etc. Then I rearrange the pictures according to my needs. The final product is mine, but the images are taken from different places. If we wanted to be completely fair and honest, most of the ws with pictures wouldn�t be allowed here. As a teacher I received many books from publishers where it is stated that they can be photocopied for classroom use. So, I think that if I make a WS with those images and then share them with you, I�m not doing anything wrong...or am I??
To cgato: I don�t think that you are doing something wrong. But it always happens here that we accept particular worksheets and more than 100 people download them and another day we say it was all wrong. I can�t understand why it is good to point to certain worksheets and say: �Ooohh, look at that, the images are not free!!!� while we clap for others with clearly similarly copied pictures? Wouldn�t it be more fair if everyone put a note at the bottom or end of the ws with the sourse of the images?
Ummmm, take a look at http://www.fotosearch.com/ . If you chose a royalty free picture and you enlarge it, you always get the watermark, but they are free pics, so... I�ve recognized houndreds of pics from that web.
These pics our mate has used are from http://www.clipartof.com/, or so I think... pics from that web are royalty free too, but you can�t get rid of the watermark.
