I'm really enjoying this series of post summarizing W. David Merrill's First Principles of Instruction. The series, which began in March, is up to part 8 now, with an installment on conceptual knowledge. The presentation is what really makes this series shine. The writing is crisp and clear, the pacing and white space make it easy to read, and there's a good use of diagrams and slides. I also appreciate the background introduced where it's needed.
