Trading Card Creator is a free Web 2.0 site that allows students to create trading cards on a variety of subjects: people (both real and fictional), place (both fictional and real), physical object, event, or abstract concept.
There is also a free iPad app (Trading Cards).
Either version is very easy to use. After naming and choosing the subject of your card, insert an image for the card, and fill in information specific to the subject chosen (in case of a person this includes background, major events, development, and memorable interactions). Once the card is completed you have to option to print, save, or share (via email) your final product.
