Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Safe Internet Education Program in enhancing digital literacy among elementary school students at SDN 11 Sipisang, a rural school located in Palupuah District, Agam Regency. The program was implemented as a community service initiative to address the digital literacy gap caused by limited infrastructure and low awareness of safe internet practices. Using a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of program activities. The results reveal that prior to the intervention, students predominantly perceived the internet as a source of entertainment and demonstrated limited understanding of digital risks, ethics, and information evaluation. Following the implementation of the program, students showed notable improvements in safe internet use, critical evaluation of online information, and responsible digital behavior. Despite challenges such as limited access to digital devices and unstable internet connectivity, the program effectively strengthened students’ functional digital literacy. These findings indicate that structured safe internet education can serve as an effective pedagogical model for improving digital literacy in rural elementary schools.
