Hello again folks,
Let me preface what I�m about to say by reiterating what I have said before: I think this site is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and it is without question the best thing I have ever discovered on the Internet!!
One little problem that I encounter here, however, is the poor quality of the images on some of the worksheets. Frequently, I come across great worksheets which I would love to use with my students, but I�m disappointed to see that when photocopied, they just aren�t up to the mark visually.
For what it�s worth, here are my recommendations regarding images:
� Don�t try to squeeze too many little pictures into the one page. As a rule of thumb, I would never include more than 15 in my own worksheets.
� Images with a black outline work very well when photocopied or printed directly from a computer.
� Avoid adding coloured backgrounds to your images which make it more difficult to see the detail of the pictures. If you must add a coloured background, choose the colour very carefully.
� Try to use good quality graphics always. When uploading worksheets myself, I choose not to use scanned images as I just don�t feel that the quality is good enough.
� Only use the �Printscreen� feature as a last resort. Here again, I feel that such images are not very clear and do not photocopy well.
� Before uploading a worksheet, photocopy it to make sure it looks OK when reproduced in this way.
I hope that I don�t sound too fussy or prescriptive; this is certainly not my intention. I really do appreciate the effort of all those who contribute to this site.
