Evaluation was carried out through active observation, assessment of practical results, and reflection on the training experience. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding and skills in designing visual learning media and managing digital classrooms effectively. This training made a positive contribution in developing prospective teachers who are adaptive to technological developments and able to implement interactive learning according to the demands of 21st-century education.

The rapid advancement of technology is evidenced by numerous innovations that simplify human tasks, particularly in the agricultural sector. Various farming methods are offered to produce fruits and vegetables without using chemical pesticides. Hydroponic techniques have been implemented to maximize crop yields without the use of chemicals in the plant care process. The community in Barean Village, Ploso, Pacitan Regency still relies on conventional farming methods. Conventional farming methods, apart from requiring large areas, also have adverse environmental and health impacts due to the use of chemical pesticides. Farmer have to spend quite a lot of capital to provide large amounts of fertiliser to treat the plants in their fields. The results obtained from conventional farming methods are not worth the capital spent. Hydroponic farming metode is an agricultural method that uses water as a growing medium. This method is recognised as an environmentally friendly method, as it uses water and nutrient solutions as a substitute for nutrients found in soil. Autor introduces hydroponic cultivation methods to the public through a digital platform. People from all walks of life can learn farming techniques using the hydroponic method, as it is more visually appealing, and can be operated interactively. Hydroponic techniques can be effectively learned through this 2D interactive media, which provides comprehensive knowledge about the hydroponic method, equipment, materials, and proper cultivation methods. The final section of this interactive media features a simple quiz to assess knowledge for novice farmers. The design of 2D Interactive Based Hydroponic Farming Learning Media is expected to be an attraction for the community in the field of agriculture. The development of this 2D Interactive Hydroponic Farming Educational Media is intended to serve as a solution for hydroponic cultivation education, thereby maximizing agricultural productivity.

Digital transformation has brought significant changes to education, revolutionizing the way knowledge is accessed, shared, and disseminated. It has provided a wealth of opportunities for innovation, convenience, and accessibility in learning. However, the rapid shift to digital platforms presents several challenges that may hinder the development of students’ critical thinking and exacerbate educational inequalities. Among these challenges are the digital divide, filter bubbles, and echo chambers, which can negatively impact students’ perspectives and deepen the educational gap between urban and rural areas. This research aims to analyze the effects of digital transformation on education, with a particular focus on Islamic education. It also explores the role of filter bubbles and echo chambers in shaping students' insights and understanding of various issues. The research method used is library research, involving the collection and analysis of literature from various scholarly sources such as Sinta, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. The findings of the study highlight that digital transformation has facilitated the learning process through platforms like Google Classroom and Zoom, making education more accessible. However, it also introduces challenges, such as the spread of misinformation and hoaxes, which are amplified by filter bubbles and echo chambers. From an Islamic educational perspective, digital transformation aligns with the principles of seeking knowledge and justice. However, the digital divide contradicts the Islamic value of equal access to education for all. In conclusion, it is necessary to improve digital literacy, provide equitable infrastructure, and promote cross-perspective collaboration to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment. The findings aim to guide policymakers and educators in shaping better educational strategies.
