The orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the altitudes in a triangle. A point of concurrency is the intersection of 3 or more lines, rays, segments or planes. The orthocenter is just one point of concurrency in a triangle. The others are the incenter, the circumcenter and the centroid.
My daughter's math teacher recommended the following site, which was enormously helpful for her. Here's a link to the 'orthocenter' topic, and you can find a bunch of other math topic videos there. It is all free. Hope it will help.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
