Modifying other author īs worksheets

I modified/colored jojo81 īs "Dress them up!" worksheet (http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=127619#thetop) formy students as well as adding new clothing. I was wondering if I could upload it or if it is against the rules to resubmit others work? |

I believe you cannot do that...
May be you should ask the original owner of the worksheet...
See you around!

I agree with the comments above. Unless you have permission by the author, I think it īs not ethical. You risk the chance of being reported. |

I wouldn īt do it without the author īs permission. It īs unethical. |

Well, it īs good that we improve the worksheets now and then. But, in your case, you īre asking to modify other members � worksheets. Now, some won īt accept it !! So, I advise you to ask their permission first before taking any action.
All the best,

Actually it īs not unethical if you credited the original author and explained what amendments you made. I just think it is against the rules here :)That said I would not upload an amendment. You could end up with thrity versions of the same sheet.

I sometimes download a ws and modify it for the specific needs of my students. However I wouldn īt upload it: I really think that you should only upload your original work.

To modify something is much more easier than to create. It takes hours of work to make a good ws: the idea, layout, cliparts, tasks... I won īt dare to upload a modified ws with some changes only.
Best wishes

We are sort of a family here, so we usually are willing to help. If you ask him nicely, he will probably give his permission.
On the other hand uploading modified wss / boardgame without giving credits to the original is unethical... It is considered stealing...
We are often inspired by friends here, of course, but we also can / should give credits to the author...
It is the least we can do...
Dear new members,
if you are inspired by other member, PLEASE insert the link to the original worksheet and the author will feel flattered and happy...
If you cannot find the author, look in the detailed information of the file or printscreen and copy the picture on the forum, other members will surely know the author...
Thank you for understanding.
