Hello fellow Printables Users,
I�ve been teaching business English and ESP for the last four years. In the spirit of individuality and targeting learners� specific needs, I�ve have lived, breathed and bled materials writing since day one. Maresia put me on to this site a couple of months ago, for which I�m very grateful and I have the following comments:
Firstly, as I am very impressed at the sophistication of much of the material, e.g. Frenchfrog, I very much want to follow the example and make my stuff beautiful, yet as already mentioned that takes time.
Secondly, I feel a little funny about contributing something that�s been contributed before, albeit differently. In other words, another handout on food vocabulary for example. So I do try to be somewhat discriminating about what I upload.
Like I said, I feel like I�ve been mass producing this stuff, and I�ve got a lot. I just need to sift through it all, pretty it up and send it through. I wouldn�t describe myself as passive. I hope that a printable a month can be enough, although I try to contribute more often.
I�ll work on making them more visually motivating, but my points are accumulating very slowly. I�m saving my current points for a rainy day.
Thanks for creating a nice community of teachers and have a merry Christmas.

I agree with Choli,
If users are required to send a contribution every X months, they will not try to make a good one, just one to solve the situation. We would have more stolen contributions, and more bandwith and disk space would be required in the web server. |

another post gone array, what souded like a reasonable suggestion, after thinking about, as others have said would cause a lot of problems. |

I agree with Victor!!!! I don�t upload very often but when I do it�s the best of my stuff. If I was forced to upload often I would send in some of my stuff that is just OK. People on this forum need to chill and stop trying to ploice each other all the time. Like I tell my students "who you should you worry about" the answer is YOURSELF! Leave the rest of us alone! |
