PEMANFAATAN TEKNOLOGI CHROMEBOOK UNTUK MENINGKATKAN LITERASI DIGITAL DI SDI KHAZANAH KEBAJIKAN

Abstract

Digital literacy is a skill that encompasses the ability to use technology wisely, intelligently, and effectively, and is a crucial component of any learning environment. Digital literacy encompasses not only technological mastery but also the skills to find, evaluate, use, and create information wisely. In the context of education, digital literacy helps improve the quality of interaction and communication in the ever-expanding digital world. On the other hand, there are challenges in disseminating digital information, as well as the prevalence of negative content circulating in society. Therefore, deeper digital literacy skills are needed so that the public, especially students, can access technology safely and productively. As part of efforts to improve digital literacy, the Directorate of Junior High Schools, Kemendikbudristek, provides assistance with Information and Communication Technology devices to support school digitalization. However, several schools, including SDI Khazanah Kebajikan, have not yet received this assistance. Given the importance of technology use in the learning process and the implementation of the Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK), the school often has to borrow devices from other schools. The Community Service (PkM) program, conducted by lecturers at Universitas Terbuka, aimed to provide Chromebook devices, along with training and guidance on their use, both during the learning process and during national assessments. The PkM program went well. Participants were enthusiastic and eager to gain knowledge and experience with Chromebook technology, a technology not widely known in schools. The PkM program also improved digital literacy skills and positively impacted the quality of education.
