I think Luke's right. Why give Rupert Murdoch's empire the fruit of our efforts, paid for from the public purse, for free?

I say that as someone who works for a private sector organisation (EMAS, Cambridge Education @ Islington), that charges for training but chooses to share resources (http://www.islingtonschoolsemas.net/teaching_resources.htm)
because we accept the principle that Stuart established long ago with www.collaborativelearning.org that we are part of  a professional community that practices what it preaches about collaborative learning.

Maybe there is some reluctance to place material on the TES site due to the condition :- 

" With respect to all Content you post to publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant TSL Education the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sub-licensable right and licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from,
distribute, perform and display such Content (in whole or
part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed."

However it appears acceptable to post links on the site , which would get round this, I think.

I registered for this (you simply provide an email address and
password) and discovered there were only 34 EAL items in a resource bank of about 11 thousand items. I added a modest ten more and I notice they get downloaded fast. I am now waiting to see which ones get rated so I can upload similar ones. It looks like a good way to reach teachers and the use of
the site is very easy. I have downloaded some activities which have potential for EAL with a tweak or two. Has anyone else been using it?
