While Google Wave has not yet been released I'm really excited to see what it brings in terms of collaboration for educational purposes. From what I'm reading, think of Google Wave as part, Google Doc/wiki-ish, part Instant Message/Chat, and part multi-media host/presenter. A "wave" allows people to create a living, working document and uses real-time collaboration where you can add text, video, photos, maps, etc. All participants can add other participants, edit content, and also playback the wave to see what changes were made, when, and by whom.
A nifty little navigation menu makes editing and working with others extremely easy and the real-time editing and conversations will help to get the project completed quicker without wait time and confusion. A neat little idea in any case and I know I can't wait to get my hands on it to take it for a test spin.
