Of all the tools I have tried so far, I have to say that I have been most successful with the wiki. It has been extremely helpful for History Day projects. It has allowed students to post some of their turn in items (key question, thesis, sample annotations, etc.). This allows all students to see what their classmates are doing. This can be great for finding examples or knowing when a correction needs to be made. It has also saved me from dragging a ton of papers back and forth.
I would like to use google docs with more of my classes, especially with History Day and having students across different hours and/or teachers. As many people have found, it has been difficult to set up. I wonder how far away we are from each student having their own school email accounts?

Here are a couple ideas for using Google Docs without having school email addresses for students:
