Abstract

Low literacy awareness in coastal communities is a structural problem that impacts children's language and cognitive development from an early age. The coastal community of Tanjung Pasir, Tarakan City, faces limited access to reading materials, minimal family reading practices, and low parental involvement in children's literacy activities. This community service activity aims to build reading awareness through contextual, participatory, and coastal environmental-based read-aloud techniques. The implementation method consists of four stages: (1) survey and coordination with the community; (2) community service team discussions to prepare materials and activity tools; (3) implementation of the mentoring activities; and (4) reflection and evaluation of the activities. The results of the activity indicate an increased understanding of parents about the importance of reading aloud, more expressive read-aloud practice skills, and a growing awareness that reading can be done using simple learning resources in the local environment. This program contributes to building a family literacy bridge and fostering an early literacy ecosystem in coastal areas.

Abstract

Digital transformation in education requires teachers to strengthen their competence in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support innovative learning practices. However, the use of AI-based applications as instructional media at SDN 004 Mentarang remains limited due to inadequate digital literacy and limited training opportunities for teachers. This community service program aimed to improve teachers' competencies in utilizing Canva AI to develop creative, interactive, and efficient learning media. The activity was conducted on July 9, 2026, at SDN 004 Mentarang, Malinau Regency, North Kalimantan, involving all teachers as participants. The implementation consisted of preparation, educational sessions, demonstrations, hands-on practice (learning by doing), mentoring, and evaluation. Evaluation was carried out through participant observation and assessment of the learning media produced during the training. The results showed that all participants actively engaged in the program and successfully utilized Canva AI features, including Magic Design and Magic Write, to create instructional presentations, teaching modules, infographics, assessment media, and other learning resources. The training improved teachers' understanding and practical skills in integrating AI technology into classroom instruction while increasing the efficiency of instructional media development. Participants also demonstrated strong enthusiasm and readiness to adopt digital technology as part of innovative teaching practices. In conclusion, Canva AI training is an effective strategy for enhancing teachers' digital competencies and supporting the implementation of more creative, interactive, and learner-centered instruction in elementary schools.
