If you use this feature during a zoom breakout session they are able to work collaboratively before they post in the jamboard for a more developed answer. So if they create a product they can review and discuss/provide feedback for their fellow classmates work, which is a great opportunity to model how to use feedback as a constructive tool to improve one's work.
