Dini explained that this activity was carried out based on teachers’ needs at SD Sutorejo I/240 Surabaya which still use little multimedia-based learning. Only about 10 percent of all teachers are in the school. “We train teachers to make attractive PowerPoints for students such as using animations, PowerPoint templates, and Masterslides,” he explained.
Furthermore, Dini said that this training was held at Programming Laboratory of ITS Informatics Engineering Departement. However, this two-days training was organized by the Intelligent Computing and Vision Laboratory team of ITS Informatics Engineering Department. “We divided this training into two different activities, namely PowerPoint training and assignments besides practicing for students at SDN Sutorejo I/240,” he explained.
