The first partition is over

This digital marketing course started after summer vacation. Time flows so fast because we have had so much fun. Next week we get our companies. I expect a lot of it when we will begin to work with them. I have heard that we will got company named Digi peoples. But I don't tell yet more about it. You will hear about our company and our week in next post. :)

Team FTS13 working

We had again guest lecturer on Monday. His name was Tomasz Odrobinski. He told us about his jobs and what he has done retrace. I think that his lecture was useful to students who work with Tomaszs company. Interesting and new stuff what he told was Google AdWords. I have never heard about it. Google AdWords is free and you can advertise your company. You just have to pay if you get customers with it.

In this week we all had to make a presentations and teach other groups. We decided make it of video marketing. Our choice was the best to our group because we have made a new video every week. we wanted to make a very good video. We started planning it on Monday and we made it from Tuesday to Wednesday. The video had to be ready on Wednesday but we were not ready yet so we had to ask more time to do it. Hopefully we get more time and we get it ready on Thursday. I am so proud of my team. Go FTS13! We get also new teammate Ria. She was in our team in last project. We should take new group photos. There is a link to our video:

''Ut på tur, aldri sur''

This week was full of different cultures. New week started on Monday with lecture about cultures. I already checked out ready what we have in this week and i was so anxiously waiting it. Our teacher Anna told us what kind of culture differences there are. She is also from Poland, so she told us much about Polish culture. It was so interesting. The biggest confusion was when Anna told that in some culture people blow their noses directly on the ground and they think it is disgusting to use tissue with it and put it on pocket. I would never even think to sneeze just to the floor. Different cultures have many sort of ways to eye contacts and to greeting and it was nice to learned about those.

In Monday we had guest lecturer Lynn-Marie Sederlöf-Airisto. It was so nice and educational to get guest lecturer! She told first about herself and what kind of jobs she have done. Lynn-Marie told us about International marketing. She have company named Lacy box and she given homework to us. We had to find out information about Lacy box a in Finnish market. We made a report to her. The report contained for example do Finnish men buy lingerie for wives and will Finns understand the concept of a subscription box?

Summary from Lynn-Marie

Our third week project work was to decide a country and search the countries cultural ways. In Thursday we had presentations. Other groups told us about different countries and cultures, it was amazing to get to know about cultures for example Spain, Lithuanian and Albanian. Our group FTS13 decided to take Norway. Because one of our group member was living in Norway and she knew much about it. Surprise we made another video again. It took so much time but it was worth it. Our team spirit is excellent! We always come up with really good ideas and implement them well. Here you can watch FTS13 groups new video about Norway's culture. Enjoy!

In lecture we talked about The iceberg model. That was so true but i have never thought it that way. The iceberg model means at everybody can see small part of you but everything else is hiding. First impression comes when people meet you for the first time. He or she doesn't know anything about you, so how you act makes an image of you.

For homework we had to make a cultural baggage. So this is my cultural baggage.

Personal branding week

Second week is over. Overall feeling of the course is still pretty positive. I am waiting enthusiastically for the progress of the course this fall and i hope i will learn so much new stuff.

At the this week we studied personal branding and marketing communication. At the lecture we went through how we can gain visibility on the job market and social media. We were told about LinkedIn and how to use it. LinkedIn was already familiar to me and I had already done a profile in there. But I just have to add more information about me, my studies and my jobs. In Thursday we talked about marketing communication. About social media channels we getting to know for example Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube and LinkedIn. I use every day Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. I have never used Twitter or Pinterest but maybe i will someday.

Lecture was useful to me because I did not know everything about how to use it and what i should add. Also what kind of materials I should add.  Now I know it and just have to have time to make my LinkedIn profile ready.

After Mondays lecture our group FTS13 got together. We had to tell strengths on our groups members. We made mind maps and we wrote something of everybody. This was supposed to help us with the pitching. It was fun! 
From the picture below is my mind map.

Pitching was already familiar to us. But we had lecture about it. I don't know why because many teachers have talked about it before. Practice makes perfect! We had to make pitch at home and put it in the blog. My video is little bit weird but hope it is good enough. You can find the video below.

First week of Digital business course

School started a week ago after long summer holiday. Expectation of the new course was exciting and I were waiting for it. Digital business is new course where they teach us in English and we study about digital business.Digital business is so interesting topic and I hope that I will learn so much new in this fall. Also i hope that my English is going to be better and better.

We study in our own groups. My group is almost same than in our last project, just one person missing. There is me and four girls more and our groups name is FTS13. It's making us laugh all the time. 

Our first presentation

What we did at this week?

First week topic was, how we see the world after five years in 2020. We started  thinking what are we going to do and almost immediately we invented to make a movie. We planned how we see the world in 2020 and then we planned how we are going to act and record it.

Next day we started recording. We had so much fun with it and we got it quickly ready. Then we just had to edit the videos. That made us in trouble. Nobody of us had never edited videos or used Moviemaker etc. We wasted so much time to learn first how to use editing program. Finally we figured it out and got our video ready. We were at school from 11 to 18, but it didn't feel like a long time because we had fun with editing.

First week taught me much about blogs and how to make them. And i learned how to edit movies. 

Here you can see our first output.
