Kerestina d Harewan, Candra Utama

Abstract


The use of Google Sites media in elementary school learning is an innovation that supports an interactive and independent learning process. This study is a literature review of 10 articles that discuss the integration of Google Sites in basic education, obtained through databases such as Google Scholar, DOAJ, and SINTA. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria in the form of a focus on the elementary level, available in full text, and published in the 2020– 2024 range. The results of the study show that this media is able to increase student motivation, learning independence, and collaboration. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and lack of students' digital literacy are still the main obstacles. This study contributes to providing a comprehensive overview for the development of digital media implementation policies and strategies in primary schools
