My digital week

This week we started with lecture about personal branding. I have already thought about that when i made LinkedIn account, when i post things in Facebook and Instagram. I want to think what i post, becouse it can give bad view about me if i post something "wrong". We also made lists of our personal goals in our lifes and discussed about our mobile phone using. Making personal goals was easy, becouse i have already gave a thought for them and some of them are already in progress. I always make newones when i have nothing to reach but these are my bigger goals:

1. Get a good education
2. Find a nice job or work for yourself
3. Buy a house
4. Travel a lot
5. Have a nice family

As a homework of the week we had to make a elevator pitch video about ourselves. I usually like that kind of individual tasks but this one i didn´t like. I didn´t have any idea about video editing or programmes witch i should use. I loaded movie maker, viva video and some third but i removed it. First i made a picture collague with movie maker but i think it sucked, there was no effects or fonts to use. I got little frustrated but then i saw my classmates videos they made with viva video and they were nice. This homework is still important in todays working life. When you are applying a new job you often have to install a video about yourself. I think that i couldn´t make my video as good as i wanted but here it is:

At the same time with this course i take classes about calculation of salaries and workinglaw. So i missed our digital business lesson on thursday but i´m kind of clad i did. In our other lesson we had a great lecturer Maria Schuravleff-Backman, who is a alumn from Laurea and works as a payroll specialist. What a confidence and professionality she has, she made me so motivated.

But the second homework of the week. I found it from the internet and made some guestions so i hope i understood it correct. Education in the future. If i have to think trends i always go to Sitra´s webpage http://www.sitra.fi/. Now i tried not to read it so much so you get my thoughts. Education will be more and more in digital mode, maybe its good. When i was in working life we already had distant meetings and online cources. Secondly is that internationalism will ingrease more and studies are more often in english. I even tried to explain this to my 9 year old niece when she told me she doesn´t like her english lessons. And third thing that came in to my mind is making connections. Teaching how to make impression in new connections. I thinks we are learning something about this in our digital business course.


I think i haven´t told you about my job in Laurea Marketing. I work as a "Laurea Missionarist" Hahah that english version makes me laugh, it reminds me about Saunalahti Missionarist Advertisements. But i work part of a team where we present our school in schools and give information in different events and public places. This week i made my first public presentation in Hyvinkää upper secondary school. The job improves my presentation skills and gives me confidence. We also take digital content with our phones and Laurea marketing can use them in Instagram, Facebook etc. This is a picture of me in my Laurea look from wednesday.
This was out of subject but if you get to know something about me, maybe its more interesting to read about my studies.

Week number one

This monday we had our first digital business lecture. Im little confused but still exited becouse i dont know what to expect. I know that we´re going to keep personal blogs about the course, we have a great team and we are going to do something fun this spring. We already made material about our vision for year 2020. My team is called Digi-ESAt and we made a video about robots taking our jobs. Unfortunately i cant load it here becouse of the copyright issues but i promise im going to put some videos about our learning and our wonderful projects. Some of our lectures can be seen in periscope.

My biggest expectation from the course is the co-operation with the real life companies. Okey im not the best user of social media only becouse i think i have other things to do in life like sports, travelling and friends. I dont want to spend more time with my phone or laptop. I have Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts but i never use Twitter. Still looking forward to learn how to use Snapchat and Periscope.

On monday we had a guest lecturer. Our quest was Ronja Salmi a 22 years old writer, screenwriter, producer, tv-speaker. Nowadays she is a founder of a company called Ryöväri. She was speaking about her career and how you shoud just "crab" in things that comes fowards you, you always get benefits from them later. You can follow her in Instagram or Facebook.

Our second lecture of the week was on friday and it was about blogging and making videos. We have digital coaches during the modul and they are students from last falls digital business course. They showed us their blogs and told what kind of content we should write and showed some setting from Wix and Blogger. I had already started to make this Blogger so it was good to see their blogs. 

The other part of the lecture was about video making. We had a lecturer from our school, she was worker of Comms Guiding Service. She teached us things like from witch angle to take video, about sounds in the video and we had to make a quick video in our lunch break and edit it with our mobile phones. Here is mine without editings, the theme was friday. As you can see i had only couple minutes to make the video fun fun :)
