This study uses a case study qualitative approach. The implementation of community education program now has developed rapidly along with technological development. Information Communication and Technology (ICT) has become one of important components in the development of society’s life in digital era. The utilization of ICT in education aims at providing an ease of access in receiving information, data accuracy, and data speed by presenting an updated information. However, the challenge is not all people think wisely in addressing the development of technology as it is found that technology is often used to access negative information. It is caused by the lack of awareness of society on the importance of information and the utilization of information technology in developing information culture to achieve “the information society”. The strategies that need to be done in the improvement of digital literacy are demand creation, supply providing, and behaviour change. As one of efforts that can be implemented in utilizing ICT in community education institution of all girls’ school is by developing blended learning where its activity is conducted through two ways which are online and face to face. At least there are four principles in blended learning including constructivism, constructionism, social constructivism, as well as connected and separated.
