SCANNING
 
Hello!
I feel really sad when I see loads of scanned ws.
 
I scan pictures too , of course, because I do no t have the hand and the time to draw pictures, in addition as I say, many things are already invented,so picutres can be used for a specific purpose.
 
So why people just scan an image from a workbook and think nobody will notice it?
Here are so many persons working really hard, and others just copy and pste from another website.
 
The freebies should be shared by everyone, and not make profit of them.
Please be fair to us and yourself.
Thank you and have a great weekend.

I agree 100%. Actually I must confess I was tempted to do it as well, but, fortunately I do not need the points so desperately. I am proud of my work, for which I get a fair amount of points. I don �t make wonderful worksheet, I don �t get hundreds of points for one ws, but I am happy with what I do. Regarding others, I am impressed by the quality of many teachers � work and I feel fortunate for being able to download their wonderful ws.
I get disappointed when I see the scanned work. I mean: IT IS OBVOUS it has been scanned, and in a way it is an insult for those of us who spend hours in front of the computer fighting with picture size, format, line spacing, font, and so on and so forth.
 
I was tempted once but I am lucky you like my work enough so that I don�t need the "easy" points.

Hi there!
 
I couldn �t agree more with you! I have just seen a couple of worksheets that were  �adapted � for a new presentation!  �Adapting � meaning  changing order of pictures ...!!! 
It is SO OBVIOUS when a page has been scanned, but  what is more surprising is that  they are downloaded. I guess there are people who don �t care or don �t value personal effort. I believe it is a matter of principles.

I agree with you 3 but try not to get too uptight about the whole thing. This issue has been discussed here million times and the cheeky ones don �t seem to take any notice.
My conscience is quite clear. If others are cheeky...as we say in Spain "recoger�n lo que siembran...tiempo al tiempo"

Liverpuliana is right - there will always be those who do what they want so don �t let it bother you. Spend your energy on congratulating those who do the right thing.
