Watch this short video about wikis.
As you watch, think about these questions:
What are the special features of a wiki?
How are they particularly suited to group projects?
What features are available in a wiki that are not available in Google Docs?

Wikis are great collaboration tools because they:•allow more than one person to edit each page.•allow many people to add to and edit the same content. •allow you to easily connect between pages inside the wiki.
WIKIS
Other great wiki features:•expandable structure – you can add as many pages as you need. •NON-LINEAR - you can jump around easily from page to page or section to section.•allow folders as well as pages - great for more complex projects with lots of sections. •store FILES – upload .doc, .xls, .ppt, .jpg, etc.

PBWorks Tutorial
Some tips on using Wikis for group projects:
•Use the front page for group notices, your outline, and other housekeeping items.•Create clear organization – list out the logical sections before you create your folders and pages, add links to the sidebar to reflect these sections•Use comments instead of edits when warranted, i.e. to comment on a page without changing it•Monitor your group’s progress with the recent history section
