Jedi II is sitting here next to me watching a video that is explaining the basic rules of basketball online (the one embedded above) to prepare for the Nuggets game that we'll attend tonight.
Why is this important? He's learning from an actual basketball coach and a couple of his players that are showing violations much better than I can. Even if we were to go outside today, it would only be the two of us and neither of us has the expertise/background to show the violations that are being demonstrated online.
He also watched the video three times in order to get all of the information that he needed; the last time he was "shouting" out answers to me/new vocabulary/nodding confirmations to me of facts he was just learning.
Sample of new vocabulary: Pivot foot, advance, three-point line, violation
Now he is on the floor flipping through a three-ring binder that has belt loop and pin requirements, trying to find the page(s) that I can sign off for him (which is also antiquated since we now enter his achievements online).
When he does find the page, there are links under each requirement that help us find what he needs to do online.
Wow has life changed! I wonder what it will be like to learn how to use a pocketknife from a master carver instead of a soap carver like me.
