Getting Ready for Global Collaboration – Time Converter

October1

dateandtime.gifInvariably, if you begin to network with individuals who are not on campus, you will want to schedule time to have a voice or text chat do do some planning. I know that I am pretty good about remembering what cities are in what time zone and when daylight savings time starts and ends for areas in the United States, but when planning for people who are outside the country, well that’s when I get lost.

Enter time and date.com (timeanddate.com). This useful web site allows a user to find out what time it is anywhere in the world, display the calendar for any year and country (complete with full moons and including holidays), and a useful utility that allows you to enter a day and the cities where people are located, and it will display times which are normal awake times so you can pick a time which may be more convenient for all of the parties.

I have found this site to be indispensable.  I hope that you will too.
