 * Answer to question #4:**

There is noting I would like to do more with wikis than collaborative writing! Wikis lend themselves to all sorts of collaborative projects--even planning a camping trip, as one video displayed--but I really love the idea of sending a writing project around and around for all sorts of educational purposes.

For example, I created a silly story wiki in which students can put their knowledge of metaphors, alliteration, etc. to use while coming up with a collaborative story which will (hopefully) be very funny. This could easily be adapted to teach other writing skills, such as characterization, expository writing, and more.

I also love the idea of using wikis to play "Mad Libs" (Valmont, p. 184) for lessons about parts of speech. I can't really think of any reason why I would not want to use wikis for any class I will be teaching, because they are so engaging, and have so many uses ((Morgan & Smith, p. 82).
