[LM_NET] TARGET-Animoto Lesson Plans for 5th Graders?

[Robert & Wendy Gustin <rgustin39@COMCAST.NET>]

I am very interested in possibly having my fifth graders use Animoto to create book 
trailers, but a little unsure about how to go about it.  Correction:  make that 
VERY unsure!  ;-)  

Is there anyone else out there who has used this program specifically with fifth 
graders that would be willing to share tips, tricks and actual lesson plans?  I did 
create an educator account with Animoto to start learning how this works.  I 
noticed that they now let you incorporate video.  I'm thinking I'd like to try to 
use some FLIP cameras to possibly incorporate video of them talking about the book. 
 Has anyone tried this?

I will post a HIT if I receive any responses!

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
