I enjoyed playing with the Trading Card maker (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/deck.php). It was very easy to link to Flickr to pull a photo to the card and then upload it back to the Flickr site.
The description box is large enough that students would have plenty of room to write a list of salient points from their research to describe the photo above. Five cards could be created that illustrate 5 causes leading to the fall of the Roman Empire. The students doing research on genetic diseases could create a set of cards describing sypmtoms, cause, treatment. The 7th grade science teachers at my school annually assign a trading card for one of their projects - students would love using this tool. I'm looking forward to sharing this with them.

Glad you liked the trading card maker. It's good to know it was great for you. I had a terrible time with it. I think its because I was in Safari. I switched to Firefox and it was better.
Interesting...I am a long-time Mac user. My personal computer is an iMac and I used to work in a Mac-only school. For the last three years, I've had to learn the Windows World and I find many things work much better in Internet Explorer than Safari.
I like the way you included the website for the item you're talking about. I need to go back to my blog and do that. I really don't want to lose the sites I've been to through this course. Isn't it the greatest?!
