The development of information technology has affected various aspects of life, including education. Digital literacy is an important competence for elementary school students because technology can be used not only for entertainment but also to support learning activities. However, the use of technology in Jorong Lurah Dalam still faces several challenges, particularly limited internet access and inadequate technological facilities at school. This community service activity aimed to provide fifth-grade students with basic knowledge of information technology and encourage them to use digital technology safely, wisely, and beneficially. The activity was conducted on June 8, 2026, at SD Negeri 19 Lurah Dalam, Jorong Lurah Dalam, Nagari Pasia Laweh, Agam Regency. The participants consisted of seven fifth-grade students. The activity employed several methods, including observation, material presentation, discussion, question-and-answer sessions, practical examples, and evaluation through observations of students’ participation and understanding during the activity. The materials covered an introduction to information technology, hardware and software, the benefits of technology in learning, the positive and negative impacts of internet use, internet safety, and digital ethics. The results indicated that the students actively participated in the activity and began to understand how technology could support their learning. Nevertheless, some students still experienced difficulties in understanding certain concepts and maintaining their attention during the presentation. Overall, the activity provided students with basic knowledge of information technology and digital literacy despite limitations in school facilities and internet access in the surrounding area.
