This study explores the effectiveness of using Google Jamboard combined with the Word Webbing technique to improve seventh-grade students’ descriptive writing skills at SMPN 2 Sukodono. Using a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design, the study found significant improvement after the intervention. The average writing score increased from 68.61 to 81.43, and a paired T-test showed a significant difference (t = 5.856 > 1.691). These results indicate that integrating an interactive digital whiteboard (Google Jamboard) and a visual idea-mapping strategy (Word Webbing) effectively enhances students' writing performance, particularly in organizing and expressing ideas. The method also boosts student engagement and creativity. The study recommends further research to examine the long-term impact and additional factors affecting learning outcomes.
