AMPLITUDO: Journal of Science and Technology Innovation, 4. , 20Ae25. https://doi. org/10. 56566/amplitudo. AMPLITUDO: Journal of Science & Technology Innovation 20 of 2003 states that education is a conscious and planned effort to provide a learning environment and process that allows students to develop their potential (Daruwati et al. , 2. The implementation of web-based learning media is still limited, even though many elementary school students are skilled in using technology. However, some teachers still rely on lecturing methods without utilizing relevant media, which leads to monotonous learning and a decline in student motivation. According to Yunus et al. , a combination of face-to-face and web-based learning is more effective in improving students' learning outcomes. Thus, educators must continue to innovate in designing dynamic and adaptive learning. Additionally. Irwan, cited by Sijabat et al. , asserts that teachers must adapt and master technology as an essential skill in the development of teaching and The implementation of web-based learning media can increase student interest, understanding, and involvement through exploration and collaboration, as well as help passive students become more active. However, challenges such as funding, time management, lack of teacher motivation, technological limitations, inadequate infrastructure, and sometimes slow internet access still pose barriers. SDN SN Surgi Mufti 1 has significant potential to utilize web-based learning media to enhance education quality with complete facilities and technology. With strategic steps, the school can ensure all students benefit from technology while continuing to improve multimedia facilities and provide teacher training. It is hoped that the development of digital technology will overcome barriers and make learning more dynamic and responsive to student needs (Arikarani & Amirudin. The researcher conducted observations and interviews with teachers at SDN SN Surgi Mufti 1.
