This study aims to describe the level of digital literacy of elementary school teachers, especially in the technological dimension. Based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, article 20 verse 2, teachers are required to be able to use technology that supports learning (from the aspects of planning, implementation to evaluation). However, based on survey results in reality, many teachers still have a low ability in using technology. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with survey approach. The subjects in this study were teachers of grades 1 to 6 coming from six different elementary schools (6 teachers). The classroom teacher's digital literacy level was measured using a test technique. The results of the study showed that teachers of grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, and grade 4 had low digital literacy categories, while teachers of grade 5 had moderate digital literacy categories, and teachers of grade 6 had a very low category of digital literacy. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is no equality in the digital literacy abilities of classroom teachers in elementary schools. This study recommends that teachers always develop digital literacy skills so that they are able to optimally integrate technology into learning and are able to use technology to develop their own potential. Schools should support teachers in integrating technology in learning as an effort to support the creation of a digitally capable generation to face the challenges of the 21st century.
