Besides, depending on the age of your students it might be necessary to contrast GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Many people are accustomed to the former even though it is obsolete now (and has been for more than 30 years already!). Excerpt There are four time zones in the 48 contiguous (touching) U.S. states.
