<![CDATA[The use of social media among junior high school students needs to be accompanied by an understanding of digital ethics so that students can interact wisely, responsibly, and respectfully in digital spaces. This community service activity aimed to provide digital ethics education to seventh-grade students of SMPN 2 IV Koto Aur Malintang, IV Koto Aur Malintang District, Padang Pariaman Regency, particularly to strengthen students’ understanding of wise and responsible social media use. The activity was conducted through direct material delivery using a whiteboard as the main learning medium and examples related to situations commonly encountered by students when using social media. A total of 25 students participated in the activity. Following the material presentation, students’ understanding was evaluated through an exercise consisting of 10 questions. The evaluation results showed that 11 students (44%) answered all questions correctly, 10 students (40%) answered 6–7 questions correctly, and 4 students (16%) answered 3–5 questions correctly. Thus, 21 students (84%) obtained at least 6 correct answers out of the 10 questions provided. The activity was also supported by the involvement of KKN students who assisted in maintaining an orderly and conducive classroom environment during the learning process. As an appreciation for students’ achievement, those who answered all questions correctly received snacks as a form of positive reinforcement. This activity contributes to strengthening students’ initial understanding of digital ethics and encourages them to use social media more wisely, responsibly, and respectfully.]]>
