For this tool, I worked with Animoto to make a video on the Life Cycle of the Monarch Butterfly, and with Glogster to make a poster on American symbols. All pictures were taken from Flickr Creative Commons. Since in the primary grades, we talk about life cycles and American symbols, I would incorporate these two tools in the Science and Social Studies curriculum, respectively.
Metamorphosis - This video would be fun to show my students at the beginning of a lesson as an attention getter or a hook.
US Symbols - I would use this poster to check for the students' understanding at the end of the unit.
I love your Animoto - the song was perfect! I bet your students would really enjoy learning about metamorphosis by watching it.

p.s. I appreciate that you used Creative Commons pictures to avoid copyright problems! :-)
What a cute slideshow (love the visuals and song)! The students will certainly enjoy this, too. I also like your arrangement of pictures for your US symbols project.
