Abstract

The era of digitalization demands that the world of education adapt quickly to technological developments. One of the basic skills that elementary school students need to have is the ability to operate a computer, particularly in typing and using word processing applications. Community service research was conducted at the Kemala Bhayangkari Foundation 1 Medan with the aim of improving students' digital literacy thru typing training using Microsoft Word and the interactive media 10fastfingers.com. The training method is conducted using a workshop model, which consists of two main topics. The first material is a basic introduction to typing using the ASDF;LKJ pattern and the use of important keyboard keys. The second material is an introduction to basic Microsoft Word features, such as changing font type and size, using Bold, Italic, Underline, changing text color, and highlighting. Additionally, students are trained to use 10fastfingers.com to interactively improve their typing speed and accuracy. The research instruments are pretest-posttest, observation, and student response questionnaires. The research results show a significant improvement in typing skills. Average speed increased from 8–10 words per minute to 20–25 words per minute, with over 85% accuracy. Student responses were also very positive; they felt more confident, more motivated, and able to use Microsoft Word more effectively. This training program has proven effective in improving digital literacy among elementary school students while also fostering an interest in technology-based learning.
