If I understand it correctly, Wikis seem to be like Google Docs except instead of just having everyone going to a website to view a shared document to edit, Wikis seem to be more inclusive- than Google Docs.....I love the idea that you can share items with others and they can edit and have a running conversation with you-so that when you are forming your thoughts about a subject or concept it is always changing. I love the dynamic nature of it. I see that I can use this for group projects. Students will incorporate this technology piece to formulate their final project. Collaboration assists us in understanding others , concepts, and taking on new problems with confidence. I also see this as an formative assessment tool It can give the students and I an opportunity to continue conversations about a subject matter after starting the conversation in class. I can then see what the "sticking parts" are to basic concepts and help guide those who aren't getting it. It also will tell me who is getting it and assist me with grouping students as we uncover the concept.

It sounds to me like you've got Wikis pretty well figured out! I'll be anxious to hear about your successes with them next year.
