The implementation of online learning, administration and the use of technology-based learning media are not maximally implemented in these schools. Therefore, training and assistance in the use of information and communication technology is carried out. Participants consisted of 8 teachers and 36 students. The training is carried out face-to-face, followed by online and offline mentoring. The training materials presented were Augmented Reality (AR) in the Arloopa application, the use of The Physics Education Technology (PhET) for virtual student practicums, mentimeters, and zoom meetings. After the work program is implemented, an evaluation will be held to identify capacity building and its strengths and weaknesses as material for improvement in the next implementation.

They just need habituation to better master the material that has been given. This training activity had a good impact on improving the ICT skills of teachers and students at UPT SD Negeri 342 Gresik.
