Paraphrasing and Technology

• Paraphrasing is restating something in your own words while keeping the original meaning.
• It is similar to a summary but usually the same length as the original text.
• A paraphrase should not add or take away important ideas or relationships.
• It does not keep the structure of the original while only changing some words for synonyms.
• In-text citation for a paraphrase does not require page numbers but it is encouraged.
• Technology has changed communication drastically in the past decade.
• Communication is not limited by person, place, or time anymore.
