Make an estimate of how many football shaped lights. What is an estimate that would be too low and too high. Explain your estimate.

Ceiling with football (AFL) shaped lights hanging from poles. Footballs are all the same size. The poles are different lengths. The lights are hanging from an inset in the ceiling which is also football shaped.

Currently developing some course materials and adding Alt Text to the images that I have used. In writing the alt text I have made some noticing and wonderings. How descriptive should the alt text be? 🧵 #edusky
