I'm feeling a bit frustrated with PBwiki. It's not as user friendly as I had hoped it would be. Perhaps it's feeling a bit burned out at the end of the day, but I think I will definitely need a bit more time to play with it before using it. I think it might be too blank of a slate and perhaps it's scaring me (and I have writer's block because of it!)
I do like GoogleDocs, especially for the powerpoint option. (I especially like the different backgrounds--like the chalkboard!) It's such a cool idea to have this really good free software out there for students to use anywhere! It's great, especially, for the lower income students who maybe only have computer access here at school and at the library or at a friend's house. I'm hoping to show this to some students and have them give me some feedback on their thoughts.

I think I might know the answer too!!! Unfortunately. I just want the 2 high schools to be equal in technology first, but I'm not sure that will happen either.
I was frustrated with pbwiki the first time I tried it, but after I got the hang of it, found it to be a handy little tool. It's not too fancy, but a great way to have a repository of information with multiple editors.
I'm reading through people's blogs again to find some "nuggets" .... hence this really belated comment.
You may want to try GoogleSites or wikispaces. A lot of teachers use wikispaces. Of course there are tons of options, some of which are listed at the bottom of this page: http://metronetmili.pbwiki.com/Wikis
