¨SHARING WORKSHEETS¨
|
HELLO TO ALL CREATIVE TEACHERS .
THIS SITE WAS CREATED TO ¨SHARE¨MANY THINGS SUCH AS WORKSHEETS, PLANNINGS, ACTIVITIES, AND MANY OTHERS TOOLS.
THE WORD ¨SHARING¨ IS A WIDELY USED WORD. WHEN UPLOADING A DOCUMENT, WORSHEET, PLAN OR OTHER FILE REALIZE THAT THE ENTIRE CONTENT OF THE DOCUMENT MAY BE USED OR MODIFIED IN PART OR IN ENTIRETY ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE PERSON. THE ACTIVITIES MAY ALSO COULD BE MODIFIED USING THE SAME CLIP ART, IMAGENS, OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT OF THE UPLOADED DUCUMENT WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ORIGINAL .
IF I DO NOT AGREE TO THE CONDITION OF SHARING A FILE, LOGICALLY I WOULD NOT MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO SHARE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT COULD BE NECESSARY TO ASK PERMISSION TO ADAPT OR USE CLIP ART TO MAKE A NEW FILE IF, FROM THE MOMENT IT IS SHARED I AM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT I WILL BE HELPING OTHERS IN THEIR DAY TO DAY WORK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT?

Beside sharing, there is also respect. I don ´t think it ´s too much to ask. (or too hard either) |

You ´re right, there ´s nothing wrong with sharing. What ´s wrong is to take someone ´s work, add a picture to it (also stolen) and take credit for it (claim you are the author). Most people who create teaching resources are not getting rich off them. All they ask for is to be acknowledged as authors. How hard is that? If you are using someone ´s publication (including published on the internet), you need to cite the source. That ´s it!
Have you heard of plagiarism?
From Wikipedia: Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary,
is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another
author and the representation of them as one ´s own original work."[1] Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty... etc....
Good luck!
