Back in November I.
published a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer. The reason for that was to show a simple method to inspect if a website is down or if there is an issue on your end..

Using the ping command in the command prompt window on your computer might seem like something just computer technology teachers and trainees must do, but the reality is that any instructor or trainee can gain from knowing how to do it. Likewise, running a traceroute may look like something only a computer technology instructor or student ought to know how to do, however its really something that anyone can gain from knowing how to do..
A traceroute reveals you the hops or connection points in between your computer and the location (typically a website). Run a few traceroutes with your trainees and see if theyre amazed by what they see.
