Abstract

In today's digital era, the role of technology is very important in various aspects, one of which is education. Design in learning today requires innovation in accordance with developments in time and technology. However, there are often gaps or discrepancies, namely learning is still dominated by conventional and monotonous methods.  Teachers still use lecture and storytelling methods in teaching. This results in students not being actively involved in discussions or carrying out other learning activities, thus not encouraging students to think critically and creatively. The aim of this research is to optimize the social studies and PKN learning process in elementary schools by creating innovative and interactive learning.

Then, the use of learning media in the form of interactive power points can increase students' interest, focus and activeness during learning so that students do not feel bored.
