Absolutely love the idea of GREEN flags ... So often we focus on what we don't want/don't have versus the people who energize and support and make you a better human. We need more better humans in our world. So be someone who supports others; not competes with them! #ATchat #EduSky #CommunAT

Tips for those #EduSky friends that are interested in joining the #AltTextChallenge
And don't know where to start.
Be not afraid!
Starting is better than not doing at all.
We are all only temporarily abled.

People who are new to writing alt text sometimes feel they must describe every detail, and then get overwhelmed by this pressure. Imagine a large crowd at a football game: you are not expected to describe every single person in a crowd in detail. This would be nearly impossible.
