Technology, information and communication (ICT)-based learning innovation is one of the important things to be implemented in educational units. Therefore, it is very important to increase the ability of human resources to use ICT, starting from skills and knowledge, planning, operation, maintenance and supervision, as well as increasing ICT capabilities in various agencies, especially in the education sector. Educators have a main role so they must continue to learn to improve their competence, because the students they face are the generation born in the current digital era. The development of ICT has given rise to various new applications as a means of learning, known as e-learning.

E-learning is part of a system that can simplify the teaching and learning process by utilizing online media. Based on the results of the TEAM's observations at SD Negeri Purwara V, Kelumpang Jaya Village, it was found that the majority of elementary school teachers did not have skills in the field of technology, especially in creating e-learning. Teachers' limited knowledge in managing technology for e-learning is one of the obstacles teachers face. So far, teachers have only carried out the learning process using textbooks and have not used technology-assisted learning media. The condition of the teachers at SD Negeri Purwara V, Kelumpang Jaya Village, Nibung District, most of whom do not know how to manage technology into e-learning and can be used as a learning medium, so there is a need to update scientific and technological information, namely by holding e-learning outreach and training web-based blog. With e-learning, it is hoped that teachers can further develop learning media which in the end can improve student learning outcomes and improve the quality of human resources in elementary schools. The aim of this Community Service is to provide education and practice in creating web blogs for Purwara V State Elementary School teachers. The method of implementing activities is divided into four stages, namely, the preparation stage, the training stage, the implementation stage and the evaluation stage.
