Pengabdian Masyarakat: Pelatihan Pemanfaatan Google Earth sebagai Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi

The lack of utilization of technology in learning, especially
Google Earth, is a challenge for educators. This study aims to improve
teachers competence in using Google Earth as a learning media
through practice-based training. The training activities were carried
out at Santa Maria Catholic Elementary School in Blitar City, located
on Jl. Sudanco Supriyadi No.21 Blitar on December 14, 2024. This
research is a community service and the research method used is
descriptive, including the stages of needs identification, planning,
training implementation, evaluation, and mentoring. Key findings
show that this training is effective in improving teachers
understanding and skills in utilizing Google Earth features for
interactive learning. In conclusion, this training has a positive impact
on teachers readiness to integrate technology in learning, although
further assistance is still needed. It is recommended that this training
program be implemented sustainably and expanded to other regions.
