Abstract

Wise internet use is an important issue in today's digital age, where almost everyone, including children and adults, are connected through social media. Social media, which includes platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, allows users to share, communicate and create content. However, this rapid development also brings negative impacts, such as the spread of false information (hoaxes) and misuse of personal data. This research aims to educate high school students about the wise use of social media through an extension program at SMA Negeri 16 Padang City. The methods used were lectures and hands-on practice using information technology tools. The results of this program showed that the education provided succeeded in increasing students' awareness of the importance of wise use of social media as well as their ability to filter the information received. The conclusion of this study confirms the need for continuous education on digital literacy to minimize the negative impact of social media among adolescents.
