Abstract
The Education 5.0 era demands significant transformation through the integration of information technology, one example of which is the use of Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs). This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the readiness level of elementary school teachers in operating and integrating these interactive devices into the curriculum. The research method used is a descriptive design with a combined quantitative and qualitative approach, in which data were collected through a teacher readiness questionnaire covering indicators of knowledge, skills, integration, technical support, and motivation. The results indicate that the teacher readiness instrument has excellent validity with an overall average of 80%. The findings reveal that teachers have a very positive attitude and motivation (82.79%) toward embracing this technology. However, certain aspects of technical operational skills and digital literacy remain in the ^Moderately Valid^ category, with a range of 64% to 67%. This indicates that teachers^ enthusiasm must be accompanied by the strengthening of competencies through intensive and ongoing training. It is concluded that the success of digital panel implementation depends heavily on the synergy between device availability, infrastructure support, and measurable professional development for teachers
