Several studies over the past few years have added substantially to the corpus of measured rotation periods in cool open cluster stars. These collectively allow an improved understanding of how rotation changes with age for a wide range of cool stars. This talk with summarize the main results of these studies and their implications for the derivation of ages via gyrochronology for main sequence stars in the PLATO mission.
