Google forms are a fine tool. As our readings suggested, I think using Google Forms for homework, especially in a flipped lesson, works very well. I have noticed that when I give an internet based homework assignment I get about a 66% completion rate. This rate grows to about 75% when using Google Forms. Comparing that to a hand written assignment, I am happy with the result (often hand written assignments are turned in at a rate of 40-50%).
Ignoring the arguments for and against homework, this difference is enough to make me more inclined to use google forms for homework assignments when I assign them. I find Google forms to be fairly easy to build and work with. The changes that Google has made in the last few years have made them even easier. I will continue to use this tool when appropriate in my classroom. T

I agree with you that Google forms is a wonderful tool! I also find it interesting that you did some research and found out actual numbers for the increase in hw. That is really awesome! Once one knows the basics to Google products they are really easy to make. I too will use Google Forms when I deem appropriate.
