Back in November I.
released a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer. The reason for that was to show an easy method to check if a site is down or if there is a problem on your end..

Using the ping command in the command timely window on your computer system might look like something just computer technology teachers and students need to do, but the truth is that any teacher or trainee can take advantage of understanding how to do it. Similarly, running a traceroute might appear like something just a computer technology instructor or trainee should know how to do, however its in fact something that anybody can take advantage of knowing how to do..
A traceroute reveals you the hops or connection points between your computer system and the location (typically a site). Run a few traceroutes with your students and see if theyre shocked by what they see.
