One form of ICT is an application on Google Apps that can support the effectiveness and efficiency of the activities carried out. SMAN 1 Kakap is one of the schools in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. SMAN 1 Kakap continues to improve quality, including improving students' abilities and skills in using ICT. Based on observations, there are problems by students of SMAN 1 Kakap, namely the lack of knowledge and skills of students in working together to complete group assignments effectively and efficiently through the application of ICT, they are not familiar with applications that can be used in completing collaborative tasks, besides that they do not know how to use Google Apps that can support activity efficiency.

The form of PKM is in the form of knowledge transfer and training on using the Google Apps application to support collaborative tasks.
