Test made with different activities
|
Hi everyone...I just want to ask you something.
I �ve made a test from different worksheets and activities. It �s a selection of them. I �ve spent 3 hours editing pictures, text, colours, size, etc.
I wanted to share it with you..I mean, upload it. There are activities that I �ve changed a lot and some of my own creation.
The question is: should I upload it or not?
I know there are some worries about copied and scanned worksheets, but since I �ve made this one I don �t know what to do. I think AND want to upload it but I �m afraid of the sheriff cow. Things are not the same as they were a year ago...we use to be more friendly each other. I �ve seen that some of the best contributors were acussed of stealing and it wasn �t a very nice thing to see...
What do you think? Please tell me your opinion.

Hi!
I think there is no problem if you have added exercises of your own. For example if the text is the same as another worksheet but you made a different approach and created different exercises, I wouldn �t consider that "stealing".
Best wishes

I think you should upload it, since your own work is involved in the creation of the ws. Sometimes I feel the same way, in fact I �ve got a couple of ws I �m dubious about uploading because even though I �ve put a lot of effort in them, some people might think they are either copied or plagiarized... What is still a mystery to me is why some ws that are just a simple frame or picture (most of the times not by the author) get lots of points, whereas others with a lot of work involved (not just my own, I �m talking about other people �s excellent ws as well) get a handful of points only.
My point is: upload it, a stolen ws can �t take a person 3 hours to make, so yours is definitely your own work!!!
A hug from another "scared" contributor

it is incredible that you have to feel bad about uploading your own work!!. Of course you can uploud it!!!
You shouldn�t feel scared of doing something which is allowed in this site, but I understand that reading some of the comments posted here you doubt about doing it. Don�t let yourself be influenced and do it.
All of you are doing a great job!!!
Congratulations!!! |

Hey Mishuna! I was going to ask the same! :)
I guess that as the tests are not EXACTLY the same activity (copy and pasting and changing 2 or 3 words to make a "different" worksheet). I was going to ask the creators of the worksheets I used if I could upload the tests, but I lost the txt document where I had written it! I think I will look for the original worksheets and send a private message to those users beforehand.
Warm fuzzies!
(BTW, I loved your signature!)
