This community service activity was carried out at Muhammadiyah Tidore Elementary School with a primary focus on improving the competency of teachers and staff in managing the school website. The background to this activity stems from the school's need for information media that is fast, accurate, and easily accessible to the community. The school website not only serves as a means of publishing activities but also as a communication medium between the school, parents, and the wider community. With good website management, information about academic activities, important announcements, and the school profile can be conveyed more effectively. The activity implementation method is carried out through several structured stages. The first stage is preparation, namely identifying needs, preparing training materials, and coordinating with the school. The second stage is technical training involving teachers and staff to understand the basics of content management, from adding articles, updating information, to uploading activity documentation. The third stage is socialization, where the community, especially parents, are introduced to the functions and benefits of the school website. Next, the implementation stage is carried out by directly applying the training results in website management. The final stage is evaluation, which aims to assess the extent to which skills improvements have been achieved and the extent to which the website is utilized by the community. The results of the activity indicate a significant increase in the skills of teachers and staff. They are able to independently update website content and utilize user guides provided in the form of documents and video tutorials. Furthermore, public access to online school information has also increased. This demonstrates that the school website is truly an effective communication tool. Therefore, this community service activity is expected to become a model for information technology empowerment that can be replicated in other schools, particularly in North Maluku.

Beauty products have become a promising business, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Various brands have achieved high sales figures, one of which is Skintific products. This study aims to analyze the role of micro-influencers in increasing brand awareness of Skintific products. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. Research data was obtained from literature reviews, digital observations, and official publications related to the topic. The results of the study indicate that micro-influencers play a significant role in increasing brand awareness for Skintific products. With a higher engagement rate compared to macro-influencers, micro-influencers are able to build closer and more authentic relationships with their audience, making their recommendations more trustworthy than conventional advertisements. Despite having a smaller number of followers, micro-influencers demonstrate greater effectiveness in creating engaging content such as product reviews, tutorials, and unboxing videos, which increase consumer interest and trust in the product. Research data shows that micro-influencers' engagement rate (5.07%) is higher than that of macro-influencers (3.25%), despite their more limited reach. The success of this marketing strategy is also supported by the use of social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, which enable the distribution of interactive visual content and expand brand awareness organically. With increased audience engagement, Skintific has not only succeeded in strengthening brand awareness but also in building product credibility, which ultimately contributes to increased consumer interest and purchasing decisions.

This study aims to determine the role of digitalization in increasing the effectiveness of motor vehicle tax payments in Binjai City. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection including observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study consisted of 1 key informant and 3 supporting informants.

In addition, officers also provide information media such as banners, video tutorials, and conduct direct counseling to the village office to increase public understanding of the digital payment mechanism.

Abstract, In recent years, there have been challenges faced by MTs Al Abraar in an effort to improve student learning outcomes, especially in creating creative and innovative learning. The partners involved in this program are teachers at the Al-Abraar Tandem Hilir Private Middle School, Hamparan Perak District, where the main problem experienced by partners is the lack of knowledge in using IT in creating creative teaching materials. Therefore, the solution offered is to provide training in creating creative teaching materials to improve teachers' knowledge and skills in creating, using and optimizing the use of Canva. The location for implementing this program has been discussed with partners, namely at the Al Abraar Tandem Hilir Private Middle School located at Jln. Listrik Emplasmen Tandam Hilir I, Hamparan Perak District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. This program consists of stages of preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. In implementing this service, the team implemented the in-house training method. In the implementation of the training, the community service team provided tutorial materials on the use of Canva which would be carried out for 2 meetings (2 meetings per material) and carried out alternately with a duration of 120 minutes each. Training activities on this were carried out on August 8-9, 2024 offline with lecture methods, direct training, discussions and questions and answers. The results of this activity can be seen that the participants of the activity can recognize and can create creative teaching material designs using Canva and its supporting features and are used in teaching. The sustainability of this program can be measured by the existence of teaching materials made using Canva.
