Pengenalan Canva AI Interaktif untuk Guru-Guru SDN 004 Mentarang

Abstract

Digital transformation in education requires teachers to strengthen their competence in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support innovative learning practices. However, the use of AI-based applications as instructional media at SDN 004 Mentarang remains limited due to inadequate digital literacy and limited training opportunities for teachers. This community service program aimed to improve teachers' competencies in utilizing Canva AI to develop creative, interactive, and efficient learning media. The activity was conducted on July 9, 2026, at SDN 004 Mentarang, Malinau Regency, North Kalimantan, involving all teachers as participants. The implementation consisted of preparation, educational sessions, demonstrations, hands-on practice (learning by doing), mentoring, and evaluation. Evaluation was carried out through participant observation and assessment of the learning media produced during the training. The results showed that all participants actively engaged in the program and successfully utilized Canva AI features, including Magic Design and Magic Write, to create instructional presentations, teaching modules, infographics, assessment media, and other learning resources. The training improved teachers' understanding and practical skills in integrating AI technology into classroom instruction while increasing the efficiency of instructional media development. Participants also demonstrated strong enthusiasm and readiness to adopt digital technology as part of innovative teaching practices. In conclusion, Canva AI training is an effective strategy for enhancing teachers' digital competencies and supporting the implementation of more creative, interactive, and learner-centered instruction in elementary schools.
