It can be beneficial for students to have the capability of posting comments in Google Classroom because this allows for collaborative conversations beyond the four walls of your physical classroom and beyond the 40 minutes of class time. This tool can be used to extend learning and encourage students to reflect on topics explored during class and on work submitted by peers. When students can be trusted to provide responsible, respectful, on-topic feedback, this tool can be very useful. In contrast, this feature can also cause students to become distracted from the content presented if clear boundaries and expectations are not set and followed for posting comments in Google Classroom.
