Default Re: Using photocopied materials in the classroom?

I have to say Jeremy's comment about teachers in France made me laugh. They are a bit behind the times here!

I think books should be priced as per the country they are sold in because ultimately it is about the dissemination of ideas and knowledge. Making money is secondary. Besides it is well known that most writers can't live off their royalties alone.

Photocopying and file sharing are part of life and if we all went to hell for having transgressed I think heaven would be empty, aside from people with no photocopiers that is.

However, I think a lot of photocopying is a waste of paper. Instead of copying worksheets, use the board for a model and have students copy it down. Or better, use activities where students are speaking and listening in the classroom and leave writing for homework assignments.
