Wikis verses Google sites

Wikis and Google both have their advantages and disadvantages. Wikis are easily assessable and easy to navigate in. Google sites take a little more time to set up, but have lot of different options that Wikis do not. Wikis, to me, do not seem as personal. It seems that there isn't much a user can do to change the format of the way things look. Both websites have useful tools that could enhance teachers' lessons. The key is to find which one works for you, your students, a n d their parents. For me, as a elementary teacher, I could use a wiki space to have parents sign up to help out in the classroom. By utilizing the discussion part of the website, I could post times and let the parents sign up for times to come in and help. Idealy, I really would enjoy using both. If someone could create a wiki-google site, that would be great. :)
