Digital Literacy in Pesantren's Life

Pesantren is an Islamic educational institution that has long existed in Indonesia. This institution has given birth to many great figures who play an important role in nation building. In this digital era, pesantren also need to adapt to the times. One of the things that needs to be done is to improve digital literacy among students.
Digital literacy is the ability to access, understand, create, evaluate, use, and share information effectively in various digital media formats. Digital literacy is very important for santri because it can help them in various ways, such as:
Increasing access to information
With digital literacy, santri can access information from various sources, both from within and outside the country. This information can be used to improve santri's knowledge and skills.
Enhancing creativity
Digital literacy can help santri to develop their creativity, for example in creating creative content on social media.
Improve collaboration skills
Digital literacy can help students to collaborate with others in completing a task or project.
Pesantren can improve digital literacy among santri in various ways, such as:
Conducting digital literacy socialization
 Digital literacy socialization can be carried out by teachers in pesantren, either through lectures, discussions, or training.
Provide facilities and infrastructure that support digital literacy
Pesantren can provide facilities and infrastructure that support digital literacy, such as computers, laptops, and internet access.
Facilitate digital literacy activities
Pesantren can facilitate digital literacy activities, such as writing competitions, creative content creation competitions, and digital training.
Increasing digital literacy among santri is an important thing to do. With digital literacy, santri can become a smart and competitive generation in the digital era. Here are some examples of digital literacy activities that can be done in pesantren:
Ngaji Literasi Digital
This activity can be carried out by inviting resource persons who are experts in the field of digital literacy to provide material to students.
Digital Literacy Classes
Digital literacy classes can be provided by teachers in pesantren to teach students the basics of digital literacy.
Digital Literacy Community
Digital literacy communities can be formed by students to share knowledge and experiences about digital literacy.
With various digital literacy activities carried out, it is hoped that students can become a digitally savvy generation and can utilize digital technology for good.
