Google Documents is the most obvious choice for collaboration. Each application in its suite offers collaboration including the calendar, word processor, presentation software, spreadsheet and sites (website builder).
With Google Documents you can create a document and then share it with whomever you wish to share it with (teacher or peer). You can choose to allow others to edit the document and they can do this in real time at the same time as you are editing it.
To Share with someone else and begin collaborating you just need to hit the 'Share' button on a document you have created.
