ABSTRACT
Digital technology has become an integral part of society's life, including students in Madiun City. The rapid development of the digital world provides easy access to information, but it also brings negative impacts, such as social media addiction, hoax spreading, and reduced ability to interact directly, so it is necessary to provide digital literacy training programs that aim to help students develop skills in using technology wisely and critically. Although several programs related to digital literacy have been conducted, many students still do not fully understand how to utilize technology effectively, so the negative impacts can be minimized. The purpose of this community service is to provide digital literacy training to counteract the negative influence of technology on students in Madiun City. The method of implementing this activity includes four stages: preparation, subject and location selection, implementation, and evaluation and analysis. All the data needed during this activity were collected using pretest sheets, posttest sheets, and satisfaction questionnaires. This PKM activity involved 45 people, consisting of 32 participants, 8 partner representatives, and 5 community service team members. The result of this community service activity is a positive response from all participants related to the implementation of the activity, with an average percentage above 85% and participants' understanding of digital literacy and its impact on technology, with an average percentage above 90%. This activity concludes that the activity is interesting, participants feel the benefits of the activity, and participants expect there to be more activities like this.
