This study aims to describe the implementation of digital technology in teacher collaboration activities, analyze its benefits for improving teacher performance, collaboration, and student learning outcomes, and assess the effectiveness of its implementation in enhancing teacher performance and collaboration. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, documentation, and tests. The assessment data from the validators was processed using software such as Microsoft Excel to calculate the validation percentage. The validity of the data in this study is ensured through data triangulation techniques, namely source triangulation, technique/method triangulation, and time triangulation. The results of the study show that the implementation of the use of digital technology runs effectively and integrated, playing a significant role in increasing teacher performance collaboration through the use of digital technology such as Google Classroom, Quizizz, PowerPoint, Learning Management System (LMS) for grade input, and Google Spreadsheet for the preparation of weekly programs, Whatsapp groups as a medium of communication and coordination. The use of digital technology in learning is associated with higher student achievement, with an average score of 81% on semester exams increasing to 83% on post-tests. There was a 2% increase, indicating a positive trend in student understanding following the integration of digital technology into learning. This research also highlights the importance of teacher training and infrastructure support in optimizing the use of digital technology in schools.
