Google Sites as ICT Learning in Indonesia: The Benefits and Implementation
Abstract
Various information and communication technology products began to be widely implemented in school learning. Elementary and junior high school development is a great time to teach technology. One of the popular ICT learning products is Google Sites. Through a literature study, this study aims to collect, observe, and categorize data on using Google Sites for learning in schools. We collected 85 literature sources from national and international articles to find data on the benefits and implementation of Google Sites as ICT learning. Based on the analysis and literature study results above, it can be concluded that the use of ICT by schools in Indonesia is mostly used as a learning management system. The benefits of using Google Sites as a web-based ICT for Learning are categorized into 3, namely: technical benefits, benefits for teachers, and benefits for students. Google Sites as ICT learning can be implemented to develop learning media, counseling service activities, language learning, and online library services. The results of the literature analysis show that schools in Indonesia use Google Sites more as a learning medium than other activities. Nonetheless, Google Sites is a new challenge for teachers to continue to improve their skills in operating technology to improve students’ digital literacy.
