"I believe it is only fair to support the work done by both the iSL crew and the thousands of teachers willing to share their materials with other colleagues. I felt the least I could do was to make a donation. After all, the web is superbly organized and very user-friendly, and the materials are brilliant most of the times. It really does save class preparation time. Keep it up!"

"Me parece una página fantástica que llevo usando al menos tres años, se la recomiendo a cualquier profesor, maestro, alumno para que la utilicen, porque los recurso que se encuentran en ella son estupendos y muy útiles, no me decido a recomendar una actividad en concreto, porque todas son estupendas y desde aquí doy las gracias a todas aquellas personas que trabajan a diario para hacerme el trabajo mas fácil y a mis alumnos más ameno. Thanks a lot"

"I donated to iSL because the worksheets and powerpoints make my lessons much funnier, easier to understand, more colourful and interesting! Thanks a lot to both the authors and the site!"

Why have I become a sponsor? Because you deserve it! You offer so many resources for teachers that I feel obliged to support you. Thanks and keep going!

"ISLCollective is a wonderful site where teachers from all over the world can share their documents. It is not only very useful for the teachers themselves but it also means that the quality of written and spoken English by their students is constantly improving. Thanks a lot for ISLCollective, it remains unequalled until this day. That's why I am sponsoring You."

"Do you ever find yourself stuck while planning lessons, knowing there must be some good idea or worksheet or plan, but you are so tired you can't think of anything? This is where iSLCollective comes in. You can search by grammar point, vocabulary, material type, level and type of student. You can download worksheets and adjust them to fit your lessons. You can leave the materials for substitutes to use. iSLCollective helped me keep my sanity while teaching on numerous occasions! It is a free site, but takes donations. It is worth any donation you can make! I will continue to use the iSLCollective to support my teaching, and I hope you will consider joining us as a sponsor, too!"

"I have been working with children from early learning up to 9th grade, teaching German as a second language. I became a sponsor because discovering islcollective really made a difference for my teaching prep and also allowed for more diversification in the classroom as I could make use of the great variety of teaching materials. In addition, I learned from the materials and became more creative in designing my own lesson plans. So, thanks a lot to the site and all the teachers who upload their worksheets. "

"Just think: most of you are teachers or people who get a benefit from ISL Collective. You would probably ask your students the same thing: do the right thing! And we will be doing the right thing if we recognise the effort of those who make available this amazing collection of activities. they save us time and work. Isn't that worth anything? Would you work for free? Your help makes a whole lotta difference! Thanks!!"

"I teach young children and adults in Austria, hopefully with lessons full of fun. Whenever I look at ISLcollective I always find something I can use. It´s usually a last minute panic to prepare my lessons and I find something quite quickly. I think a small contribution to ´save my neck ´ in these panic situations does not go amiss. Someone has to administrate all of this. And I find it one of the best sites for teaching material - very diverse."

"A good community only works if everyone puts in a little share. Hey, this is actually an awesome project! On the one hand, it's just incredible to find so many useful ressources in one spot, and be able to get them. For free. On the other hand, we kind of get used to this, right? Isn't everything in the web for free, sort of? Wikipedia, facebook, youTube, tons of news sites and other sites? No, it isn't. We just tend to forget that. All these sites put in a tremendous amount of work. Some have found other ways to get money, by monetizing your data for example. Or by having people pay to have their content featured. So, it's advertising, just hidden. Others just have a huge network of people willing to work. For free. And so, because nobody is watching us, we start thinking that it is okay to just download and use that work other people have done. For free. But it isn't. Giving back should be a normal thing. And giving back can have multiple forms. You could ask yourself: i have used this platform. It has helped me. How can i help back? Sometimes, this might mean uploading a paper you have created. Sometimes, it might be dropping a line just to say thank you. Sometimes, it is to just donate what you can afford or think is fair. Because, evidently, all this costs money. There is no such thing as free content. Somebody always pays for it. And it is good to contribute to keep it alive and interest-free. Because otherwise, it will disappear. Or be paid for by people who have something to sell. So, yes, do donate. Because it means being a good person. "
