Kosakata Perkembangan teknologi informasi telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam dunia pendidikan, namun pemerataannya masih menghadapi tantangan besar, terutama di wilayah blank spot yang tidak memiliki akses internet. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan implementasi pembelajaran berbasis teknologi informasi (TI), mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dihadapi, serta menganalisis strategi adaptif guru dalam mengatasi keterbatasan di SDN 5 Mentaya Seberang, Kabupaten Kotawaringin Timur, Kalimantan Tengah. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis TI di SDN 5 Mentaya Seberang dilaksanakan secara offline dengan memanfaatkan perangkat sederhana seperti laptop, proyektor, dan flashdisk berisi materi digital yang disiapkan sebelumnya. Guru mampu mengadaptasi pembelajaran dengan pendekatan low-tech learning melalui modifikasi bahan ajar digital menjadi bentuk cetak, integrasi media digital dengan sumber belajar lokal, serta kolaborasi antar guru dalam pengembangan media pembelajaran. Tantangan utama meliputi keterbatasan infrastruktur, rendahnya literasi digital siswa dan orang tua, serta minimnya dukungan kebijakan pendidikan. Meskipun demikian, strategi adaptif guru berhasil meningkatkan motivasi dan keterlibatan siswa, memperkuat pemahaman konseptual, dan membangun budaya sekolah yang inovatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan digitalisasi pendidikan tidak ditentukan oleh kecanggihan teknologi, tetapi oleh kemampuan guru mengontekstualisasikan teknologi secara kreatif dan manusiawi sesuai dengan kondisi lokal. Model low-tech learning terbukti menjadi solusi efektif untuk mengembangkan pembelajaran berbasis TI di daerah tanpa jaringan internet. Temuan ini merekomendasikan pentingnya dukungan kebijakan berbasis konteks serta pelatihan guru yang menekankan pemberdayaan teknologi sederhana untuk mewujudkan transformasi digital pendidikan yang berkeadilan di wilayah rural Indonesia.
