Back in November I.
released a video about using the ping command on a Windows computer system. The factor for that was to show a simple approach to check if a site is down or if there is an issue on your end..

Utilizing the ping command in the command prompt window on your computer might seem like something just computer science teachers and trainees should do, but the truth is that any instructor or student can benefit from knowing how to do it. Also, running a traceroute may look like something just a computer system science instructor or trainee need to understand how to do, however its actually something that anybody can take advantage of knowing how to do..
A traceroute shows you the hops or connection points in between your computer and the destination (typically a website). Run a couple of traceroutes with your students and see if theyre amazed by what they see.
