Welcome to the Time Page!

Since we have students from around the World studying at f2k, and since many of them are asking, "What the heck time is it, at f2k and where I am?" I thought I might try to create a blog that would make it easier to find your own local time, and compare it with the f2k local time.

I have embedded several clocks on the right-hand sidebar, so just scroll down to find the time nearest to yours.

Now, basically, we're running on US Eastern time - New York, eg. - which puts us five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time. GMT is used as the base time for the whole world. If you can figure out how far ahead, or behind, GMT you are, then the math is easy. New York is five hours behind. So f2k is GMT -5. Got it?

Anyway, I will try to post little clocks on this page so you can find your local time and then check f2k's time. This should help you when you want to make one of our scheduled Chat Sessions.

I hope!

If you don't see your local time here, then why don't you hit the reply button and let me know the nearest big city and your country? As soon as I can I will get a new clock posted on this page.

Whoo-Hoo!

Benning, this is totally awesome! Thanks so much for creating this page. I'm saving it to favorites now so I can use it for F2K chats, but also when trying to calculate times for chatting with my online friends in other countries. You deserve a ton of M&Ms for this one, buddy!

Keep us posted on Leslie. We miss her. This page is great There is always a problem with knowing the times of the chats. In Leona's classroom there are people from Australia, Afghanistan, Iraq, South Africa, Ireland and England, not to mention the one's from the one's from the US. E.
