Who wrote all this stuff?
We've been collecting lesson ideas, complete lesson sets, and articles from volunteers since 1997, . Many of these volunteers are creative teachers, educators and pastors. A group of volunteers has continued to weed & feed the content, ...improving and organizing it. Registered and Supporting Members can post their lesson ideas and lesson sets in the appropriate areas.
How can it be free?
Amazing things happen when people are generous with their content and money!
Who manages this site? ...and owns the content?
Rotation.org and the Rotation.org Exchanged are managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Go to www.rotation.org/support.htm to learn more about the Board.
All content on the Exchange and Main site remains the property of the listed author. They may change or remove their material at any time.
Is this site connected to a church or denomination or someone?
Nope. We are fully independent, and interdependent on each other!
Is this site connected to Neil MacQueen's software site?
No. Neil is just a volunteer with Rotation.org. Neil the Sunday software guy helped create Rotation.org and posted a lot of content to it, but he gave away the rights to the domain name to the Board when it incorporated.
Understanding the terminology and organization of the Exchange....
The "Exchange" is a giant message board that's organized like a Nested Filing Cabinet:
Rotation.org's Main Site www.rotation.org, with links to the Exchange.
-->> The Rotation Community Page www.rotation.infopop.cc
This is one of the main entry points to the Exchange where you'll see a Community Message.
-->> The Exchange CATEGORIES (collections of forum topics) www.rotation.infopop.cc/eve
What many consider the "MAIN MENU" of the Exchange. Here you'll see The Help Forum, the Workshop Forums, and Lesson Forums, etc.
-->> The individual Topical FORUMS within each Category.
At this level you see the individual posts themselves. For example, under Old Testament Category, you'll see topics such as "Genesis" and "Exodus." When you go into the Genesis Forum, you'll be able to click on posted material about Adam and Eve.
-->> The individual DISCUSSIONS with their messages/posts
