You can do this in the privacy settings of a phone.\u00a0 No need to turn it off for all apps (like Google maps, for example), but by turning it off for the camera, you will not attach the specific location information of where your photos were taken.\u00a0 Lastly, consider how you talk about your adventures \u2013 you can be enthusiastic without boasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Tag politely<\/b>: \u00a0Tagging etiquette is always something to keep in mind, especially when on vacation with families and friends. \u00a0\u00a0If you tag someone in a photo that you post, that person becomes subject to your privacy settings (whether or not you tag a user in your photo, your whole network may still see the image).\u00a0 Respect other people\u2019s privacy.\u00a0 Some parents prefer not to have their children\u2019s photos all over social networks.\u00a0 So ask before you tag and post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Be a vocal fan:<\/b> \u00a0This summer, you may be visiting a new city, watching the World Cup, enjoying summer camp, or attending a concert of your favorite artist.\u00a0 Tweet about, friend, or follow them on social media and let them and your friends\/family know how much you like them.\u00a0 Since they know and trust you, they may consider it for their own future plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Keep in touch, but sometimes let go<\/b>: \u00a0It\u2019s great to stay connected with friends and family back home, but think about those you\u2019re with now. \u00a0Constantly texting and chatting with far away friends will take you away from what you\u2019re doing.\u00a0 It will also drain precious battery power that you\u2019ll need to capture photos and videos of your adventures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During the summer holidays, remember to have fun and do things you can\u2019t normally do during the school year.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s absolutely fine to share what you\u2019re doing with far-away friends and family on social media, but do it in a healthy, safe, and balanced way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many schools are out for the year and families are headed for that beach vacation or family visit, I know many kids will be on the road with their mobile phones in tow.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few things to think about and share with your kids before you head out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[84,13,7,8,47,6,16,75,5,48,66,25,10,57,76,12,82,21,77,67],"class_list":["post-949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-apps","tag-cell-phones","tag-cyberbullying","tag-digital-citizenship","tag-digital-literacy","tag-education","tag-facebook","tag-instagram","tag-internet-safety","tag-media-literacy","tag-mobile","tag-online-privacy","tag-online-safety","tag-parents","tag-snapchat","tag-social-networking","tag-social-networks","tag-teens","tag-tumblr","tag-twitter","wpautop"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/internet-safety\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
