Abstract

To successfully implement digital transformation in education, teachers need to possess practical skills in selecting and employing digital technologies and designing learning materials based on student needs. The community service program is aimed at assisting teachers of SMA Muhammadiyah 21 Tebing Tinggi in the use of digital technology through training, mentoring, and the initial development of digital learning media. Eight of the twelve invited teachers participated in the activity (66.7%). The program included preparations, discussions on digital learning strategies, training on Mentimeter, Kahoot, and Canva, simulations of media and learning model development, evaluation, and follow-up consultations. Evaluation was descriptive, based on attendance records, observations on activities, participant feedback, and practical assignments. The results showed that there was active engagement in discussions and the practical use of the digital applications. Three teachers had a high level of participation, and one senior teacher had a strong learning motivation. Participants also discussed the use of digital applications in supporting the development of learning media and materials. However, the implementation was hampered by the limited availability of laptops, internet access, and the school's Wi-Fi facilities. However, the changes in teacher competence could not be quantitatively measured due to the lack of complete pre-test and post-test data. The main results therefore reflect initial participation and engagement of the respondents and not validated changes in competence. To ensure the program’s sustainability, it is important to improve access to digital facilities, provide continuous mentoring, and develop digital learning resources within schools.
