Continuing to stock pile Educational Infographics on my Pinterest board, I waited until I found an app-ortunity to share these resources with one of my teachers and create a delectable lesson.

Now, exams can be taken online, students can communicate effectively through online platforms, and lab sessions can be attended through live streaming.

During our meeting Bernd Jahnke pointed out, that there was a copy of the map on display at the entrance of a parking garage in the center of Konstanz.
