Scanning from books
|
HI everyone !
It � s the first time I use the messages here. I�d like you to help me with a doubt. Is it illegal to take a picture from a book, magazine, etc, to cut, paste and use it to make an activity of your own? Is this supposed to be book scanning? My last contributions have been removed for this reason. What do you do to get a picture to adapt to your activity?
thanks a lot for your help. Im feeling so disappointed

Hi theoyster,
Don �t be disappointed. We all made mistakes at first. And your pro-active attitude - asking what is and isn �t okay - is great  .
I think, though someone else please correct me if I �m wrong, that we can use scanned pictures as long as
1) they are not from other esl resources
2) we add our own activities
Did your worksheets that were reported fulfill these criteria?
If not, just update them and then reupload them.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day  julia |

Hi Julia!
Thanks for your answer! As I don�t know how to use some pc functions yet, I did a lot of paper work, photocopying the pictures I like, cutting with scissors, pasting with glue, scanning my paper sheet to have it in the pc, and then typing the sentences I needed for my students to use. Then i can�t see why they say its book scanning. I told all this to the moderators, I do hope they clarify!
take care
Sandra

I tend to agree with Julia: we are not allowed to scan pictures or tasks from ESL books, but we can scan an image from other kinds of books even though this is not a really good thing to do, either... And - OF COURSE - we always have to add our own exercises and/or questions!!
BTW and because I wasn �t online when you were celebrating Germany �s most recent victory last night:
 GOOOOOOOOOO,  GERMANY, 
 GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Hi, Sandra! :))
I must admit that I feel really sorry for the Argentinian team...
To be beaten like this is not a very nice experience. 
BUT... LIFE GOES ON, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Big hugs and lots of love - Silke

when scanning a picture from a book you of course do need to be careful with copyrights...
even if it is not an esl book ... |

Hi Marion
I know, but the pictures i included in the worksheets are pieces of furniture, black and white. a bed, a chair, a couple of sofas.... stuff like this. In one of them I even traced the pictures from a book myself, so this is why Im at a loss with the removal

Hi Sandra! Please don �t feel disappointed. The problem with your worksheets is that the whole page was scanned - the borders could be seen and the page was not centred. I can see that you had a lot of trouble doing a job that can easily be done in your PC with much better results. Would you like to give it a try? Here are some free tutorials that will help you, step by step, to create a worksheet with your PC:
You can find more in the tutorial section. Once again, no points are needed to download them.
Have a nice day,
