Distance Learning (PJJ) began to be applied by all teachers in Indonesia during the Covid Pandemic including teacher who taughtat the Elementary School (SD) level. The application of this learning is not as easy as what many people talk about, because teachers must be able to select and design instrucctional media using technology. The problem ezperienced by teacher, especially in the regions, is the lack of knowledge in making technology-based learning media, especially learning media that can be used as an evaluation material for Distance Learning (PJJ). As a solution tothis problem, our team conducted training on making google forms for elementary teachers as a medium for evauating Distance Learning (PJJ) during the pandemic. The ethod we provide for this community service activity is by providing direct training to elementary school teachers, making simole modules, and providing assitance in making google form evaluation media. The result of this services activity is that as many as 20 teachers who participated in the training were able to create and design their own google form according to the needs of each subject as a media for evaluation of Distance Learing (PJJ. In addition, based on the results of the questionnaire filled out by the teachers who attended the training, it shows that 90% of the teachers understand how to make google forms themselves and 100% of  the teachers   are happy with the training acivities that have been held.Keyword: google form, pjj, evaluation learning

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the education order towards a virtual experience. Also, the use of digital media appears convenient for conveying learning materials and engaging students effectively. Under this circumstance, elementary school teachers commonly encounter certain difficulties using online platforms, due to poor knowledge of technology. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to: 1) strengthen educators' ability in mastering technology for distance learning, and 2) improve cooperation and reputation of the Maranatha Women's Family Association to the wider community. An asset-based community development (ABCD), using a mentoring and practical approach was adopted. This study was conducted online, with an attendance of 50 elementary school educators in Tangerang.  The results showed that the participants gained significant insights and practical techniques for developing distance learning materials using power point slides to support the online learning process.

This paper reports on an online distance learning course that emphasizes the improvement of the self-efficacy beliefs of in-service elementary school teachers in teaching biological concepts. The course utilizes digital educational content and Open Educational Resources (OERs) and focuses on the interaction, peer support, and peer teaching into an online learning environment. In the design framework of the course, we investigated the educational needs of teachers and took into consideration the findings of other studies. A total of 251 teachers were enrolled in the online distance learning course and 142 completed it. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected in November 2020 through the bio-STEBI-A instrument and the posts in the forums of the course. The quantitative results revealed an improvement in both subscales of bio-STEBI-A, which were also confirmed by the qualitative ones, that underline the course, thus contributing to the improvement of self-efficacy beliefs of in-service elementary school teachers in teaching biological concepts. Recommendations are made for future research.

This study investigates the obstacles that teachers faced using Google Classroom as a platform for Distance Learning (PJJ) during the COVID-19 pandemic at the elementary school level. This study also examines how elementary school teachers overcome the obstacles they experience while conducting distance learning through Google Classroom. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from 8 teacher respondents who actively use Google Classroom in teaching activities in Pontianak. The findings indicate that the obstacles faced by teachers during learning activities are limited facilities and infrastructure, lack of technical support, difficulties in controlling students, and lack of human resources. Teachers have made maximum efforts to overcome these obstacles by utilizing available facilities and infrastructure and affordable technical support and organizing independent training activities and peer-to-peer tutorial activities related to distance learning, such as controlling student learning and improving human resources quality.
