Creating Animations with Powerpoint for Kindergarten Teachers in Dumoga Central District and Bolaang Mongondow District

Abstract

The ability of kindergarten teachers to create animations is still far from "can," and they only create animations to meet specific requirements or tasks. In fact, compiling animations that were thought to be simple was not as simple as one might think. Creating animation appears to be the same as creating teaching materials in general. In fact, if the animation is organized according to the correct rules and regulations, compiling the animation becomes the most "difficult" research to complete. This is demonstrated by the situation of teachers who have been unable to correctly arrange animations. The community service program, which takes the form of learning media development training for kindergarten teachers in the Dumoga Tengah district, is expected to increase knowledge, skills, and confidence in their profession. Later on, teachers will be more motivated to develop themselves. The outcomes of this training will benefit schools by making the teaching and learning process more interesting by utilizing a wider range of learning media. Furthermore, the availability of training in the development of learning media will improve teachers' abilities to prepare their learning tools. Keywords: creating animation, PowerPoint
