"Anything is possible to edit if you have the right software to do this.


PS 1: If you upload non-editable worksheet, it is fine, but please state this in the DESCRIPTION"

Hi!

I prefer editable / correctable wss for 2 main reasons:

1) Your wss only fit 100% of your students� needs because it�s almost impossible that other teacher will teach the same grammar topics and vocabulary words at the same time. I have to edit the wss I download here and I guess the others do the same with mine. At my school we teach the rooms of a house in the 1st book, but "attic" and "basement" are taught in book 4 and 3, so I have to erase those words - or teach them earlier.

2) At a site by teachers and to teachers, everyone is able to correct mistakes - and everyone is also able to make them...  I�m an old woman, only able to see mistakes if I print and do the exercises myself. Of course I correct them later, but sometimes I prepare a ws to use 2 or 3 months later; sometimes I never do - because I have another idea or get behind schedule and have to skip it. I think everyone is able to detect mistakes, so should be able to correct them as well. If a teacher asked me the editable version of a ws I made one year ago, I would never find it...

Non-editable wss won�t stop anyone from copying, if a person merely opens a non-editable ws and presses the print-screen button, he�ll get an image that fits perfectly a word document and it will be happily uploaded by any cheater member as his. In my opinion what prevents cheating copies is something that most of us have: honesty. If a person lacks it, nothing will stop him from getting what he wants, no matter the type of worksheets we prepare.

I also download some weird wss (not particularly from this site) with basic vocabulary + advanced grammar in the sentences. Sometimes I ask myself why a teacher would teach �school subjects� if the students can deal with sentences using structures like �would have gone�, or why I would use songs with advanced concepts like politics or economy � sometimes hard even to a native to understand completely � to teach present simple.

The aim of the site accepting only doc is to share and let the others adapt the way they want / need. I only understand non-editable documents if they get too heavy to upload, or if you use other software than Microsoft Office. If you�re producing non-editable ones as a way to �protect� your work, you�re just wasting your time � and the cheaters� borrowers�.
