Back in November I.
released a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer. The reason for that was to show a simple approach 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 appear like something just computer technology teachers and students need to do, but the truth is that any instructor or student can benefit from knowing how to do it. Running a traceroute might seem like something just a computer science instructor or student must understand how to do, however its really something that anyone can benefit from understanding how to do..
A traceroute reveals you the hops or connection points between your computer and the location (often a site). Run a couple of traceroutes with your trainees and see if theyre surprised by what they see.
