Abstract

Paraphrasing ability is an essential skill that students must have to improve the quality of academic writing and avoid plagiarism. However, many students still struggle to rephrase information effectively due to limited vocabulary, understanding of language structure, and lack of practice in academic writing. Therefore, this community service activity aims to improve the paraphrasing skills of Patompo University students through online training based on Zoom Meetings. The training method applied includes five main stages, namely (1) presentation of material on paraphrasing techniques and academic ethics, (2) discussion and question and answer sessions to clarify participants' understanding, (3) direct practice in rephrasing academic texts, (4) mentoring and feedback on students' paraphrasing results, and (5) assessment of academic manuscripts as a final evaluation. This program also integrates supporting technology to help students evaluate the quality of their paraphrases. The results of this activity show an increase in students' understanding of paraphrasing techniques and their ability to apply them in academic work. With this training, it is hoped that students can be more confident in writing originally, improve critical thinking skills, and build a more ethical and professional academic culture.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of digital literacy among junior high school (SMP) teachers, with a focus on the wise, safe, and ethical use of social media. In today's digital era, teachers' roles are not only as instructors in the classroom but also as role models in a healthy digital ecosystem. Through this outreach, participants were provided with an understanding of the basic concepts of digital literacy, the risks and challenges in the digital space, and strategies for using social media to support learning and shape student character. The activity's implementation methods included material delivery, interactive discussions, and case simulations. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in teachers' knowledge and awareness of the importance of digital literacy, as well as a change in attitudes toward more responsible online activities. This activity is expected to be the first step in building a positive digital culture in the school environment and encourage teachers to become agents of digital literacy amidst the rapid flow of digital information today.
