Pengembangan Soft Skill Guru dan Siswa Melalui Pelatihan Microsoft Office PowerPoint dan Desain Grafis

Abstract

Based on observations conducted in schools in Lerang Village, Lanrisang District, Pinrang Regency, almost all teachers have computers/laptops, but they still use whiteboards as learning media, create teaching materials, and present teaching materials to students manually and the creativity of teachers in presenting materials becomes monotonous and does not develop. In addition, many students of UPT SMPN 2 Mattiro Sompe and UPT SMAN 10 Pinrang use technology, especially Android for less useful things, such as many students use their Android to play online games, spend their free time surfing on social media. Therefore, the service team held a training aimed at improving skills for teachers and students on the use of technology honing teacher skills in creating and presenting teaching materials, and increasing student creativity using Android in producing a work. The first training session, namely Microsoft Office Powerpoint Training at the Computer Laboratory of SMA Negeri 10 Pinrang for teachers and Graphic Design Training with the PixelLab application was held at the Science Laboratory of SMPN 2 Mattiro Sompe for students in Lerang Village, Lanrisang District, Pinrang Regency. From this activity, it can be concluded that the Microsoft Office PowerPoint and graphic design training activities aim to help teachers and students improve their skills in the field of technology by utilizing existing software applications, training teachers' creativity in creating interesting teaching materials for students and train students' creativity about graphic design in the modern era so that the information they convey through design is conveyed well.
