Avoid reposting same material.
« on: April 12, 2011, 05:51:16 pm »
Hello,
We all appreciate your zeal to upload materials and to contribute to the site.  However, please avoid posting the same powerpoints, videos, and worksheets multiple times.  Dozens of posts in the past week have said "I don't know if this has been posted yet but . . .," but really you need to read the entire thread to check if in fact it has.  And chances are if you got materials from this site, the materials are . . . um, already on the site. 

Some chapters for elementary school textbooks are 7 or 8 or more pages long, and that's a good thing.  Only a few years ago the only resources we had for those books were the CD-ROMs and our own ingenuity.  There are a lot of resources to look through, but please don't add to it by reposting old stuff.  If you'd like to endorse or bump an older lesson, use the "quote" button found on the post and let us know how it went. 

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

Thank you for posting this.
Could we have a guide on how to use the Waygook search function, too, please? ^_^

I heard you have to post 5 times before you can download any lesson plans/worksheets/etc.  :)  This is an awesome site!

This is a good point. If you only post your materials once, it is easier for users to locate the original document rather than being stuck in an endless backtrack. Thank you! :)

Does that include tinkering with PPTs and reposting them later?

Tinkering is fine.  If you think it's changed significantly (fixed broken links, better pics/animated gifs, corrected grammar/spelling), then repost it.  But please don't repost if you just changed the font, switched a few pictures, or fixed a few misspelled words.  Use your judgement.
