English proficiency is a crucial skill in the globalization era, especially in business, communication, and industry sectors, which demand this international language as a competitive advantage. Over the past decade, advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have significantly impacted English learning, including through online platforms like YouTube and Canva. This study examines the utilization of these two platforms in English teaching at MA Hidayatul Insan Palangka Raya, particularly on the topic "Word Order of Adjective." The methods used include visual presentations with Canva and interactive videos from YouTube. In its implementation, students engaged in dialogues, watched instructional videos, and participated in quizzes as a form of comprehension assessment. The study results indicate that using YouTube and Canva significantly enhances students' participation and learning motivation while reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and comprehension through an interactive approach. Recommendations are provided for the application of these digital media in high school English learning, with suggestions for further research involving long-term impacts and variations in teaching methods across different educational contexts.

Reading is an interactive process where readers construct meaning from texts, relying on various skills, including comprehension. It is fundamental for learning and daily life, and its importance is underscored by the rise of information and communication technology (ICT), which facilitates access to information through tools like the internet. Online platforms, such as Wattpad, have emerged as popular resources for improving literacy among students, particularly in narrative texts. At SMPN 28 Bekasi, English is a compulsory subject, yet students face challenges in reading comprehension, especially in understanding narrative texts. Despite the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which focuses on project-based learning, many students struggle to meet reading standards. This research aims to investigate the impact of the Wattpad application on students' reading comprehension of narrative texts, given their difficulties and lack of engagement with traditional reading materials. The survey revealed mixed preferences among students, with strong leanings towards novels (45%), fiction (56%), and romance (44%). Short stories are less popular but still attract the interest of some readers. The majority of students (46.7%) use Wattpad daily, spending mostly 30-60 minutes per session. Many read 2-4 texts per month and often follow specific authors. About 60% of students use bookmarks regularly, while 66.7% prefer texts recommended by Wattpad. The note-taking feature shows mixed use, indicating varying levels of engagement. Reviews and ratings are very important to 83.3% of students when selecting texts. Students generally felt confident in following the storyline (83.3% often or always), analyzing characters (83.3%), and identifying the main conflict (83.3%). Most students apply information from texts in real life, frequently reread for clarity, and often create summaries. Overall, these findings demonstrate high engagement and understanding among Wattpad students, demonstrating their diverse reading habits and interactive use of the platform.

Digital transformation in village governance has become a primary strategy for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in human resource (HR) management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital technology in village government HR management and its impact on productivity and administrative efficiency.

The rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) urges both society and the state to adapt swiftly. Technology has altered various aspects of life and offers conveniences. However, a segment of the Indonesian populace is experiencing a digital divide due to this rapid advancement. The digital gap is propelled by geographic factors, unequal infrastructure, motivation, skills, aims, and perceived impacts. This digital discrepancy brings forth various detrimental effects on the populace. It impedes the Government's efforts to achieve good governance and prosperity for Indonesian society. Pancasila, as the foundation of the Indonesian state, encapsulates values of justice, aspiring for equality among Indonesians across various domains. The existence of a digital divide contradicts these aspirations. The digital gap contradicts the ideals of Pancasila, and thus, Pancasila can serve as a basis and guide in addressing this issue. The values within Pancasila can be utilized as a foundation in devising strategies to bridge the digital divide and create digital equality. Keywords: Digital divide, Pancasila, Digital equity, Good governance
