This week was spent finalizing the rest of my intervention. I spent 3-4 hours adding to and improving my Evernote index cards based on the ideas gathered in my formative evaluation. The two main improvements that I needed to make were to create more clear organization and to add a "check" component to the applicable cards.
As you can see in the screenshot above, I "bolded" the example heading and added a "check" component (which is also bolded). Everyone probably recalls their math teachers telling them to "go back and check your work." I remember hearing this after a test and simply going back to be sure I'd answered each question. This additional component to my index cards will remind the students HOW to check each problem... now if only I could find a way to be sure they actually did!
