Wuhuu! This school week started far from home. Because we were in Stockholm in a student cruise. Almost the entire FTS13 was there but Tanja was not. We went to the cruise on Saturday and came back on Tuesday. We had so much fun and we met many new people. That's why I didn't join a Mondays lecture.
On Monday there was a guest lecturer named Katja Järveläinen from Gapps Oy. Katjas topic was cloud technology and leadership. Like you know I wasn't in the lecture but here is a picture of Katja and our teacher Ilkka from Monday.
This course is almost over and we have so much to do. That's why we didn't have any week task on this week. But our group had to plan our final video to the final presentations ceremony. We have so many good and fantastic ideas. Can't wait to present it! :)
On Thursday we had a lecture by Arman Nuri. His lecture topic was content marketing and I learned again more about familiar topic. I liked his way to present and it was nice to listen him. The biggest thought that sticked to my brain was Coca Cola drinkable advertising. If you don't know about it you should google it. ;)
We also had time again to teach other groups. Finally we got to show our video about how to make a video. We made that video at the beginning of this course. It was a little bit different compared to what kind of video we would make today :D The video is below if you don't remember it.
Can't remember but I am not sure did I tell you about Emotion Tracker. But now I will tell you the whole story.At the beginning of course we made the project with Digi People. But then they didn't had more tasks for us, so we met Camilla Tuominen from Emotion Tracker. She is start-up entrepreneur and she was so exited to make a project with us.
She gave us many different options and we just had to choose one. We chose two tasks which were campaign plan and searching the most used hashtags on feelings. I think and believe that we invented so amazing stuff. Maybe someday you will hear about that. :P
But back to Monday now. Camilla came to give us a lecture. I just knew it was going to be amazing! Camillas personality is so great. She is woman full of energy. :D Her lecture topic was emotions.
People have many different emotions. And sometimes it is hard to express feelings.First you have to know your own feelings and then you can feel other peoples feelings. That was a good point! She had three parts in her lecture; why, what and how. Now I will open them to you.
Why?
Emotional impact on own values, learning and experiences.
You should just be yourself with your own emotions in work life.
Don't flatter!
Future is unknown.
Live with your passion
Do what is important to you
What?
Emotions are energy and information
Write down your feelings
Your fear will reduce
Positive things get stronger
How?
No judgement, just curiosity
Confront your feelings
tell them and say welcome to feelings
Camilla is also so an artist, she drew very nicely and she made her notes with drawings. As you can see on pictures.
Next guest lecturer was Jaakko Alasaarela from ZEF solutions. He was one of the best guest lecturers that I have met. His way of telling stories was so inspiring. Jaakko told about his work and stories about what has happened in ZED solutions. He also told about dreams and three different life values.
People should write down their own dreams and think them every day. Too large dreams will finally get smaller so you got to have the right persons in your life to fulfill those dreams.
What are your personal reasons? What is your goal? What you want? What it is?
1. Love
Everybody wants to be loved
If you don't get respect from others, you will be scared
2. Passion
Let's do everything right now
We are here to change the world
What ever the situation is, don't give up
3. Courage
Don't be afraid
Everything is going to change
encourage yourself
''It does not matter what comes against, I can do it!''
On Thursdaywe had two lectures by our digi coach Jabed and Bui. Jabed talked about SEO, Search Engine Optimization. This subject was familiar to me but he told much more and interesting things about it. It was really good!
Buis lecture was about fresh desk. Subject was nice and interesting.
To end I show to you our a new video. We made a video as our week task what was about Thesis. I'm sorry but it is in Finnish.
Finally came the week when we are going to learn law issues. I like law issues much and I am so interested about it. Marjaana Marmo is our teacher. I was a little bit disapointed on Monday, when I noticed that our lecture was in English. Of course it is in English because this course is in English. But no, it wasn't a good thing. Everybody knew how difficult law issues are in Finnish. And how difficult they are in English? From the start, I didn't get anything out of Mondays lecture. And that is sad, no can do.
Fortunately somebody was clever and said that we can do our week tasks in Finnish. It was so much easier made tasks like this in Finnish. On Tuesday we started to do our group tasks. We had three papers of law tasks but two of them was in Finnish:D Nice! I don't know what should I share to you about the tasks. We got many different law tasks and we needed to tell is it right or wrong and how it should go on. Next I show one of our task and tell the answer to it.
Company called Survival Oy which is organizing adventure tours in the islands of Nauvo bought a new motorboat from a boat show in January. When the tour operation was started again after the winter, the company responsible for the tour went to inspect the islands with the new boat mentioned above. Shortly after the departure from the beach, they found out that the control system of the boat didn't work as desired. The tour executives try to get back to the beach but because of the control fault the boat was drifted to beach stones and suffered extensive damage. Survival Oy immediately informed about the control fault and it is implications to the company that sold the boat. However, the company representative said that the company was not responsible for the malfunction because the boat was sold in January and now it was already May. Survival Oy representatives are terrified because of the adventure tours was subscribed to more than one group but before the boat steering condition is fixed they basically can't arrange tours at all. Tell and explain does the Survival oy have the right to demand any penalties from the boat dealer company. And after that we need to search the answer to this law issue. Here is our answer. By law, the buyer must do an after check on the goods as soon as possible after the release when circumstances permit. In this case, the boats steering fault could not have been checked before the end of the winter, so the boat was inspected by the time required by law. And therefore Survival oy is entitled to demand penalties due to the fault. What do you think? Would you have gotten the right answer? Law issues are difficult and you have to be sharp on lessons and study hard to learn them.
On Thursday we went through the correct answers with our teacher. At the same time one group was drawn to make a presentation. Weird but this time it was not FTS13.... :D Thursdays lecture taught me much more than Mondays because it was in Finnish. I hope we would have more lectures about law issues. I hope that on next weeks tasks we will get to make a video. It is our cup of tea to make videos. -Nelli
I had expected this week for a long time. Because we went to Digi people studio. Pekka the owner of Digi people had invited us to visit their studio. At the studio Pekka introduced us to their workplace, sound studio and shooting studio. It was amazing to see those places in real life. Sometimes I think it would be nice to work with video making and advertisement. We filmed some material to our team document, which we are going to show at final presentations. We also met Pekkas wife Camilla Tuominen. She has a firm named Emotion tracker. She gave us new task options and we have to choose one of those. It is nice to get new tasks because we don't do anything for Digi people anymore. That's so sad, I was waiting so much for example feedback of our synopsis. but no can do!
Lectures of the week
Like the headline tells we had a confidential task. Hanna Sirama is an entrepreneur and she told about her new idea. Because it is new and not ready yet, I can't tell you more about it. But this task was really nice and interesting.
We also had lecture by Sofia Auranen. She is Laurea alumni and she came to told us about her different jobs. She works at Parker Hannifin. Here is some points what she told.
Learn new things for the joy of it.
This is important and everyone should think about it.
Plan and execute surveys.
Everyone should make surveys because it teaches new things and help you for future.
Last lecturer was on Thursday and our guest lecture of the day was Arto Kuuluvainen from M3Research. He told us about sport branding. This topic wasn't interesting to me. Of course he had a very good lecture and all but I didn't feel at it help me that much.
For the end I will share the new video of FTS13. The video was part of our weekly task.Those dogs are our own and it was really fun to make a video like this. This video will make everyone happy :)
Hello! I will tell you again what we have done this week. Our group did not make any presentations or a videos because this week we didn't have any big group tasks. That's because we had a test on Thursday. I think my test went well, I hope.
But back to start of the week. On Monday we had a lecture by Ilpo Kärkkäinen. He is DJ and he makes electronic music. But he didn't come to tell us about music, he came to tell about blogging. He has an own blog called resoundsound. He has blogged about five years. Here is a little summary from Ilpos lecture about blogging.
Blogging is a powerful learning tool. You can learn focus and creativity from blogging. Those are important things. Also you can discover big new points and ideas. Also remember if you don't want to write publicly you can write only for yourself.
Blogging can become a solid business. When you write a blog, you have to know that it takes time. But you have many ways to do your own blog. You have many ways to earn money. You can write freely and sell products. Blogging connects you to people and opportunities. Connecting to people is important and also brings new opportunities. Don't try to be perfect you have to only show that you are a real. Make it easy to contact you. These days people want to do everything as easy as possible.
This week we made little task to Ilpo. We had to explore his blog and give him positive and constructive feedback.
The week is almost over again. This week we had many interesting lectures. We had also guest lectures Terhi Aho From Tulos and Joanna Purosto. Joanna was from MMAliitto and she spoke us about MMA and her own work life. She pressured us to network much. It was nice to hear lectures like these. We also get the change to join that union free and of course i did it. Terhi aho spoke about search engines and content marketing. She told global search engines market shares. Google was by far the winner next was Baidu but it had only 17% while google had 69%. Here you can see a picture of the diagram.
Search Engine optimization involves three parts. Those are content, technology and links. For Example if you want that someone can find your website or blog you have to link your address to everywhere. When Google can find it on many places and someone search something what affiliate it, Google recommend it on first page.
Google wants to be your personal assistant. That was a point of this week.
Group work of week was to use Hubspot marketing grader. Hubspot is an inbound marketing software platform that helps companies attract visitors, convert leads and close customers. We need to make a presentation of Digipeople and two competitors, also their Hubspot results. We made an animation. Here you can watch our presentation.
On Thursday we had two lectures from Ilkka Kurkela and Bishnu Rana. Bishnus presentation was about lead nurturing. Second lecture was Ilkkas and it was amazing because he made it with Periscope so everyone outside the lecture was able to watch it on webstream.
We also got a task for blog post. We needed to choose five blogs from our course and read them. Then we needed to mention them here and write a blog about what they have learned or did they have good points or ideas on their blog. And also give positive and constructive feedbags of those blogs. So here is five blogs I've chosen.
http://digibusinessworld.blogspot.fi/
This is Johannas blog. Her blogs appearance is nice and clear. I think her blog posts are short but contain much facts. Maybe she could write more in detail. She has nice pictures on posts. Johannas blog is also advanced much during the first weeks. She told Faysals lecture taught to her much about taking pictures and editing.
http://niinahavilehto.wix.com/niinahavilehto
Next one was Ninas blog. Her blogs front page was so visual but it takes a while to find her blog texts. She is writes lot of and interesting texts. Her blog is so visual and she is posting nice pictures. I liked much her post of different cultures.
http://diggingdigibusiness.blogspot.fi/
Then I read Annas blog which appearance is clear and harmonic. She had lot of pictures of different topics, I liked it! She can also write in an interesting way. But one think I was wondering is why does she have only five blog post?
http://digitalbusinessblogg.blogspot.fi/
Lasses blog is simple and clear. Easy to read. His texts are short but tight. Maybe I was hoping for more pictures. His cultural bag is made with visual appearance.

Last but not least is Teemus blog. His blogs name is funny:D! His has wrote soooooo much! Hi is so good writer and his text are educational. He could use more pictures,a lot more. It would make his blog more interesting. His cultural bag was awesome, I liked pics of it. He told extensively about Nordic business forum. He watched NBF on live stream.
Yay! This post is so short but I have good explanation for it. On this week we had a autumn holiday. The hole week. So we haven't had school or any tasks or projects. Because our group got ready on last weeks group project. It is good that sometimes we can take it easy. Then it is nice to continued school again.
I didn't have a plans for this week. I loved it when i had so much time. I was out a lot with my dog and met my friends and family. Of course I did some school stuff from other course.
I decided to take an extra course of content marketing to this fall. I don't know but it feels a bit hard and stressful to me. I struggle all the time should I quit it. We will see it.
It was nice to be on holiday but I like so much to do videos with my group. So I am waiting next school day when we can start plan new video :) ! By the way I haven't mentioned our teams Twitter account which is FTS13laurea. Feel free to follow us ! :D
