I prefer Google Docs, but you must be in a situation that your students have email accounts, or your school has Google Apps for Education. I recently used a wiki for a collaborative writing project with a middle school class. It worked "okay" - but the peer review process wasn't what I wanted it to be since students had to leave discussion posts rather than make comments within the document. Also, the wiki has no spell check and text formatting can be tedious.

with google docs the organization would be with individual docs (organized in groups)<br />
Also- with most wikis (at least the ones I know...) only one student can edit at a time- this can be a limitation...<br />

I tried accessing your site but was unable to get to it. I'd really like to see how people are using Google Docs. I work with several teachers who are just starting to use Google Docs in their classrooms.

I use a <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/mrbohmfalk/geography-1/five-themes-page" target="_blank">google site</a>, which can be considered a wiki since you can open it up to others to edit, with links to google docs for students to edit. I think a wiki could work (and I've done it before) but the portal idea mentioned below is how I use my google site.

I actually use Google Docs pretty exclusively. I have used both. I agree with Steve that the revision history is complicated, but in practice, we haven't really noticed a need for more.<br />

You make great points here. It isn't a question of which is better. It is a question of which is best for a given situation. Isn't this the goal of technology literacy? Identifying the best technology for a given situation. We need to avoid the tendency to get "attached" to one technology.
