Module 2 Reflective Journal Update + Bridge to Module 3 (KA4: banking)

Reflect on your Module 2 learning about digital identity, safety and citizenship. Gather evidence from your work, write Reflective Journal Entry 6 connecting it to workplace experience, and speak a short bridge into Module 3. This completes your M2 KA4.

    1 - Getting Started ~5 mins

    Module 2 ends today. You have researched online, written a digital safety charter, studied a global platform, and thought hard about who you are on a screen.

    Today you finish M2 KA4: look back at your own evidence, write Reflective Journal Entry 6 about Module 2 and workplace experience, then say the heart of that entry out loud.

    Key point

    Must finish before you leave: the final text of Entry 6 in your Reflective Journal (if the journal is in the room) and the same final copy in your Communication Portfolio. That pair is the KA4 evidence.

    2 - What a Good Entry Does ~7 mins

    Key point

    A strong module entry does three jobs: it names what you now know, it says what you do differently, and it links that change to real life, including work.

    TermWhat it means for youReal example
    Workplace experience: placement or workplace contact through VPGUse one concrete workplace moment about phones, posts, or privacyStaff told not to film customers on shift
    Module reflection: looking back across weeks of workWrite what changed, not a list of lesson titlesI stopped treating privacy settings as optional after the charter work
    Digital self: you online, at school and at workSay how work made that self feel more publicChecking a public profile before a placement
    Marked exemplar

    Invented student voice: When Module 2 started I treated my phone as private. On my VPG café placement my supervisor said customer faces never go on stories. That one rule made workplace digital identity real. For KA1 I rejected a site with no author and no date. I still use the six source checks from KA1 when I search for school. The charter clause I wrote about asking before sharing photos is the one I would keep. Module 3 needs me to read how media frames a story, not only whether a page looks trustworthy.

    Notice: one workplace moment, one research habit, one charter choice, one clear next step.

    3 - Look Back ~12 mins

    Key point

    Before you write, gather evidence from your own Module 2 work. Rate each line honestly and name the piece or moment that proves it. A rating with no evidence does not count.

    Your four Module 2 KAs:

    • KA1: website research pack
    • KA2: digital safety charter with contribution note
    • KA3: platform presentation
    • KA4: Journal Entry 6 (this lesson)

    The ratings on screen are not saved. When you finish, press Copy for my portfolio and paste them into Enter Your Work to keep them.

    Module 2: where you stand now

    4 - Write It ~24 mins

    This is the piece that completes M2 KA4.

    Must finish

    Must finish, in this order:

    1. Entry body (about 12–18 sentences) with a workplace link
    2. Module 2 Reflection block under the entry
    3. Portfolio save as m2_l60_journal_entry_6_JM (use your own initials)
    Key point

    M2 KA4 evidence = final Reflective Journal Entry 6 + the same final copy in your Communication Portfolio. KA4 is not complete until that Portfolio copy exists.

    Use the activity below as your working draft. If time allows after the three must-finish items, mark weak spots and polish those parts in place (do not start a second full rewrite from scratch).

    Journal Entry 6: Module 2 and your digital self at work

    5 - Say It Out Loud ~7 mins

    Time rule

    Time rule: only start this step after the Portfolio copy of Entry 6 is saved. If less than five minutes remain in the period, stop after the bank and skip or postpone the partner delivery. Skipping it does not affect M2 KA4.

    Take the heart of the entry you just wrote and say it aloud to a partner. Speak it; do not read the full page. This is speaking practice. It is not the M2 KA4 evidence (that is Entry 6 and its Portfolio copy).
