Basically, people collaborate using a wiki in order to change a single document or page, much like a google document (word processor, spreadsheet, or presentation); that is, people work together to collaborate on a particular piece of CONTENT. Although there is a discussion tab for posting, the heart of a wiki is using collaboration to change CONTENT. A blog and group (like google groups) are more for threaded discussions and are not concerned about editing a particular content page. Blogs tend to be more open to the public whereas groups are more closed (you typically need to be a member to either see posts or add to the posts). Most blogs you can add comments without being a member or having to sign in. There are exceptions and overlaps, but basically blogs are more open to the public and groups are more closed. Wikis are open, some allow people to change content without having an account while others require an account.
You can get a deeper explanation by searching the web: What is a wiki? What is a blog? What is google groups? I hope this helps.
