May the 4th Be With You-Resources and Turning Location Services off on Your Camera

​​Tomorrow is May 4th – a special day for Star Wars fans. Here is an article with some great ways you can celebrate May the fourth with your class: May the 4th Be With You: Best Free Star Wars Teaching Ideas​. Don’t miss the Star Wars Crawl Creator and Lessons from the New York Times.   ​

I have been teaching a lot of lessons lately on Digital Wellness and one of the topics that I want to share with you this week is keeping the location of your photos private. If you have the Location Services turned on when you take pictures, it adds data to your photos about where they were taken. If you then publish these photos on Media, other people can look at the data and find out where your pictures where taken.  This can give away your home address.  Here are some instructions for turning this off on photos on iPhones and Android phones:

Iphone:

1.  Go to Settings

2.  Click on Privacy

3. Click on Location Services

4.  Go down to Camera and click on it then select Never

5.  Go Back, then go down to Photos and click on Never for that one too

Android:

1.  Go to Settings

2.  Click on Apps

3.  Find the Camera and click on it

4.  Click on Permissions

5. Turn off location here
