Greater Greater Education launches a photo pool

As Greater Greater Education continues to grow, we’re looking for your photos to help us fill in the picture of education in DC.

Greater Greater Education is looking for some sharp eyes. The stories we post are about our community, our children, and our schools. And compelling images help, well, complete the picture.

We’ve created a group on Flickr called Greater Greater Education, which we hope you’ll join and help populate with photos that depict aspects of education in DC. These could include photos of schools, colleges, daycare centers, museums, libraries, playing fields, and playgrounds.

Beyond these “setting” photos, we also hope you’ll submit photos that signify various academic subjects, tests, or education-related trends. Due to privacy concerns, we cannot accept photos that include identifiable images of individual children, but we encourage creativity in helping us show what education looks like in DC.

If you’re already a Flickr member, you can join the group by clicking here. If you don’t yet have a Flickr account, you can sign up for one here. Once you’ve joined Flickr you’ll be able to post photos on your own page, and once you’re a member of the group, you’ll be able to share them with others in the group if you think they’re relevant. (Flickr has a good tutorial on using groups.)

Whenever we use your photos, we’ll credit you. And in addition to using photos to illustrate the stories we post on GGE, we also plan to regularly highlight some of the great images from the group pool in the same way that Greater Greater Washington does.
