Google translation from the Retibne website:
”At retibne.de, teachers can find freely available teaching materials on the subject of repairs and education for sustainable development for technology and IT lessons. This didactic and methodical preparation of the repair tasks for the lesson is intended on the one hand to enable students to properly identify and analyze sources of error and to restore the functionality of technical artifacts.
”On the other hand, the examination of how they work should contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex problems associated with production, use and disposal. For this purpose, methods and materials were developed that, in the sense of education for sustainable development, address the ethical, ecological, economic and political implications that are related to repair and obsolescence across disciplines.”
