Hi,

Just want to say that I LOVE your products as do my students.  Keep them coming, please.

My question is on how we may use the products that we purchase.  Are they only to be shown in the classroom, or may I put them on my web page so they can access them from home?

Hola Gary,

As teachers, we do not believe in the traditional license, included in most educational resources, that says something like “any form of reproduction, distribution, public communication and modification of this work is strictly forbidden…”

We understand that once you legally purchase a book, CD or video, you should be able to share it with your colleagues and students in the way you think it better helps your educational community. We, of course, are trying to run a business, and that’s why the only license we currently use is the one that doesn’t allow the commercialization of our products by third parts. In other words, as long as teachers don’t re-sell our materials, they’re free to use them and modify them as they please.

If you think having on-line access through your website to some of the resources you have purchased might be beneficial for your students, do not hesitate to do it. That will just make us feel proud of what we’re trying to do through Bablingua.

Thank you so much for allowing the use of your products on our blogs and wikis.  With 21st Century tools being the wave of the future, it is imperative that we be able to use our resources electronically.  Thank you for being open to this.
