Maybe I have jumped the gun. After giving people permission as members to edit a wiki, one does not get advance warning and the ability to screen edits, correct?
Perhaps the blog offers a more controlled environment for younger students and their teachers to avoid potentially inappropriate content. The wiki may require pretty vigilant oversight and a robust contract and discussion with students before getting started.
The wikis I have used will send a notification when edits are made. This might be a lot of email if you are using it with a class. I don't know of any approval options. Most teachers who have used them have talked a lot about setting up standards with the kids and everyone agreeing to stick to what they have decided together is appropriate content.
