This study aims to analyze strategies for strengthening digital literacy for students of Al-Muslim Bireuen Islamic Boarding School in facing the challenges of the technological era. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that most students still have limitations in understanding and utilizing technology wisely and productively. Al-Muslim Islamic Boarding School has begun to integrate digital-based programs, such as training in the use of healthy social media, the use of digital devices for learning, and increasing awareness of digital ethics. Strengthening digital literacy is important to equip students to be able to adapt to changing times, while maintaining Islamic values ​​in the use of technology.
