Website is an important media for schools. It has the potential as a database that can be seen by the wider community. News, photos, infographics and videos can be presented through this media. This important necessity has driven UNY Graduate School Lecturers Team to organize a community service program to boost the internet based skill of teacher at LP Ma'arif NU Yogyakarta.
The team were consist of Else Liliani, Margana, Tadkiroatun Musfiroh, and Dwiyanto Djoko Pranowo. The activity was held for 6 days started from 24 to 29 August 2019. Head of the PPM Team, Else Liliani, explained that the training program hopefully would improve the skill on news writing and social media management. News will become media content, while social media as promotional media so that content can be widely spread in the community.
Meanwhile, Tadkiroatun Musfiroh said that despite of the fact that the community service program had been done regularly, it was expected that this program will strengthen the bridge between UNY and School. “The program hopefully will give a way to share the knowledge from UNY to the community and also give a means for the university to learn further about what the community need at most,” he said.
The opening ceremony was held at Ma'arif 1 Temon Vocational School, Saturday (8/24), and immediately filled with material. PPM UNY team presented speakers Taufik Fahrudin (website management), Arsyad Hermawan (social media management), and Sabjan Badio (news writing). Furthermore, participants will practice 4 days (25-28 / 8) and be evaluated (29/8).
The participants seemed enthusiastic about the activity. One participant, Rustyaningsih, felt that this activity was suitable and very beneficial for the school.
"This activity is very useful and in accordance with our needs at school. So far the use of websites and social media is still very minimal. It's just that, perhaps the training time can be extended because there are participants who are laymen and need more study time," said Rustyaningsih, participants who is a teacher as well as PR Ma'arif 2 Temon Vocational School.
