First Principles of Instruction
Book First Principles of Instruction M. David Merrill. (2012).
M. David Merrill. (2012). First Principles of Instruction. John Wiley & Sons.Thinking about principles.
Merrill quote:
"A principle (basic method) is a relationship that is always true under appropriate conditions regardless of program or practice (variable method). A practice is a specific instructional activity. A program is an approach consisting of a set of prescribed practices." (M. David Merrill, 2012)

Design Principles, learning, and the immediate, personal, 'context-ghost'
Short version of below text
Community of Inquiry reminded me of Vygotsky’s social development theory.
As I read through Robert Gagné’s Nine Steps in the back of my mind I ‘stepped through’ a class I had written. A lesson plan for a 2D animation class. I haven't taught animation for a long time, but it just popped into my head as a comparison when I read through the 9 steps.
Leads me to reflect on the consideration of existing knowledge in the varying aproaches of design principles.
Note - may be unreadable. It is a rough draft to capture thoughts. Coming back to edit later.

Take on me #☺
Is there a term that sits between epiphany and 'a-ha moment'?
Today's back-of-the-mind quandary.
ADDIE is something I am looking at and indeed connecting to my knowledge or working thinking around UX and UI. +Agile.
No time to place all of the frameworks I am exploring here - perhaps this particular post will be edited where I can.
With said 'betweener'-constructed-meaning moments. !
(that last sentence is a bit like a myBib url) 👈 A 'ho-ho' moment, rather than 'a-ha'
Edit: I didn't write what I was thinking about here (perhaps connecting edu processes-thinking to Asimov's books being jettersoned into a streamed appleTV series - a selection of writers with specific writing styles to address certain aspects of (tvseries) story telling - allowing an enormous amount of freedom while still connected with the main concept. The principles of Asimov's Robot Wars books...
I'm tooo busy! leaving this for another time. Should delete - but there's enough to capture something (for me at least!!) #☺

Blooms Taxonomy
"Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchical classification of the different levels of thinking, and should be applied when creating course objectives. Course objectives are brief statements that describe what students will be expected to learn by the end of the course. Many instructors have learning objectives when developing a course. However, many instructors do not write learning objectives. The full power of learning objectives is realized when the learning objectives are explicitly stated. Writing clear learning objectives are critical to creating and teaching a course."
