As discussed in class, having an appropriate media release form is important if you plan on including students in any of your multimedia productions. Please check with your specific institution about requirements and guidelines for creating a suitable release form. You can download some sample release forms. In the downloaded package you'll find three Word documents that U.C. Davis uses with credential students. You'll also find three variations on one document used by Milpitas Unified School District. In the Milpitas case I've included: (1) the original scan, (2) an OCR version of the scan where you can copy/paste the text, and (3) an RTF version which does not come out perfectly but allows you to easily copy text if you want to use their wording in part of a media release form you create.
In general instructors working with over-18s can pretty easily craft their own media release form (but it's always good to double-check with your administration). On the other hand, instructors working with under-18s need to use media release forms that are tightly aligned with the requirements of their particular school district. In several cases those working with under-18s will need to use a district-mandated form.
