Training on the Use of Google Classroom Platform to Strengthen Digital Learning Management at MIS Lubbul Labib Kedungsari Maron Probolinggo

Abstract

This community service project aimed to strengthen the digital learning management capacity of teachers at MIS Lubbul Labib, Kedungsari, Maron, Probolinggo, through targeted training on the use of Google Classroom. Initial assessments identified several key issues: low digital literacy among teachers, limited access to devices, and the absence of institutional policies supporting digital learning. To address these challenges, the program applied a participatory approach involving planning, training, and mentoring phases. The training introduced core features of Google Classroom and its integration with Google Docs, Forms, Meet, and Drive. Using a hands-on, learning-by-doing model, teachers actively practiced managing digital classes. More experienced teachers were also empowered as peer mentors. Evaluation was conducted through formative observation and a summative assessment involving surveys, interviews, and analysis of teachers’ digital classroom outputs. Results showed significant improvements in teachers' technical skills, confidence, and consistency in using Google Classroom for lesson planning, task distribution, and assessment. Moreover, the school began drafting internal policies to institutionalize digital learning practices. This program demonstrates that with participatory methods and contextualized support, even schools in rural areas can move toward sustainable digital transformation in education.
