Items I post must be downloaded to receive points?
|
|
I have uploaded a few things on to this site but have received no extra points for them. Do items have to be downloaded by others in order for you to receive extra points? It doesn �t feel fair to me, as if this is some sort of competition.
Any feedback? |

Yes, you are right, you receive points only if someone downloads the contribution. It is not a competition, it is a tool to maintain some standards on this site.
Some worksheets don �t take long to make but they are fancy. So some worksheets are downloaded not because of the content but because of they are fashionable or cute...
So you might call it a fashion show... but not a competition... Noone can predict if this or that worksheet will be reaaaaly successful. It is a matter of good luck ...
Please read
F.A.Q. and
Rules and instructions
The
points system:This is a sharing website. All users have
to contribute if they want to use other members � contributions. If you send a printable or a powerpoint,
it will be published the next day. Whenever someone downloads your
worksheet, you �ll get one point, although you �ll have to wait two days
to receive those points. You can use your points to download other
users � contributions. For example, if you have 14 points you will be
able to
download 14 worksheets.
When you reach 30 points you will become a
premium user (not automatically, but the next day). Then you will have 30 free downloads every day (without
using your points). These 30 free downloads can only be chosen from the recent
contributions (previous day contributions), not from the whole collection. Look at it differently. You will share one successful worksheet or online exercise (these OE gain a lot of points - hint!) and then you will be able to download 900 free worksheets per month, or 10,000 free worksheets per year. If you find it too bad, you can try a different website where you will have to PAY for the worksheets and the worksheet will not meet the HIGH standards of this website. It is up to you... It is your choice...

Few hints:
elementary level is preferred
EFL content
several exercises on one page or several pages of exercises
colourful border / textboxes
cute cliparts
song online exercises usually get many points

I fully agree wtih all that you have said,Moravc, the coloured printables are absolutely marvellous,but I find that it can be quite expensive to print them or photocopy them for my students, even so I still download a few, but I must admit I downloadl more non-coloured especially for advanced levels which I mostly teach, so I think if you make your exercise interesting and unusual, you get points.
Good luck Eskoro |

It depends on what other teachers are looking for.As for the colourful ones you can always photocopy them in black and white.Have a good day all of you!!!! |

Rather than photocopying the worksheet I �ve started using the coloured ones by displaying them on my smartboard or through the computer so that we all get the pleasure of the colours. The students can still do the activities in their books. It �s kinda going back to the time when we didn �t have photocopiers and everything had to be copied from the blackboard.
