<![CDATA[The increasing use of the internet among elementary school students creates opportunities for learning, communication, and creativity, but students also need guidance to manage digital safety, personal data, misinformation, and digital ethics. This community service activity aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of safe, smart, and responsible internet use at SDN 07 IV Koto Aua Malintang. The activity involved 50 fifth- and sixth-grade students and used an interactive educational approach consisting of material presentation, discussion, true-or-false activities, case studies, quizzes, and reflection. The materials covered the benefits and risks of internet use, protection of personal data, identification of potentially false information, and ethical communication in digital spaces. Evaluation was conducted descriptively through students’ written responses, participation, discussion, observation, and documentation. The activity showed active student participation and demonstrated that students could respond to basic questions and situations concerning internet benefits, digital risks, personal data, information verification, and digital etiquette. Because the activity did not use pre-test and post-test scores, the results are not presented as statistical improvement. The activity nevertheless provides a practical model for introducing digital literacy and responsible internet behavior at the elementary school level.]]>
