Understanding Time During K12 Online …

Participants at K12 Online span the globe. That's why we use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the publication of all events. Whenever we publish the date and time of any event we consistently link to a time converter that allows you to convert the time to your local time. This can be confusing if you're not used to doing conversions to GMT; more so in countries that have daylight savings time when the dates of the conference span the change from Daylight (Savings) Time to Standard Time. Matters are further complicated when governments change the dates they observe Daylight Savings Time, as has recently been done in Canada and the USA.
