Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost for the materials?
Absolutely nothing! All materials (as far as we know) are original presentations and documents donated by other  instructors who are only interested in helping other instructors. In fact, one person wrote to me and said we do more for instructors than the national (delete) association does. Cool!

I downloaded it and now I can't see it or use it.
Some of the materials are 'zipped" (compressed) to reduce the size and time for downloading and you must uncompress them after they are on your hard drive.
Windows users can download WinZip to unzip these files.
Mac users can download ZipIt

Can I make copies or post to my site?
No, and probably Heck No. There are some TERMS on the use. Keep the lawyers out of your wallet - please read the terms.

Do you accept donations?
Um..never thought about it, but sure! The site is paid for by the webmistress, so go ahead, sent a dollar or two if you like. I promise I'll put it towards the site maintenance bill. 
OH WAIT! -MAYBE you meant donating materials? If so, YES, ABSOLUTELY, that's what makes this work, so send it on! Save yourself some possible agony though- see the Submiting Materials section before you submit materials, please.


Will you EMAIL the materials to me?
NOPE! (Well, maybe once in great while if I have time and there is a serious problem with your ability to download and it's our fault.)


Will you provide a blank zip or other media for me to put my presentation on so I can snail mail it to you?
Nope, sorry, I'm barely paying the bills as it is and cannot afford to do this. ;-P


Who do I contact if I have a download or other problem?
The webmistress, Valerie DeFrance.  (and I assure you I am MUCH more responsive than tech support elsewhere)  

Why do you and others offer materials for free?
Fame and fortune? um..no...  Well, Beats me!  Maybe we are just nice people?
