Privacy, Permissions and Attribution

Learners decide which permissions (camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos) an app really needs and why to ask a grown-up first, spot details in photos that reveal where someone is, and learn that creators own their work: we ask permission or use free-to-use works, and give credit with the title, creator and source.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 60 minutes
  • Privacy and credit check: 8 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, highlight a text, match pairs, put in order and sort into groups

What learners will discover

  • Decide which app permissions (camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos) an app really needs, and ask a grown-up before allowing them.
  • Protect location and photo privacy by noticing details that reveal where someone is and keeping location sharing off unless a grown-up decides otherwise.
  • Respect creators: ask permission or use free-to-use works, and give credit with the title, creator and where the work was found.
