MASH UP



Mash Up is a technology that comes from music. It expresses the mix of different technics in order to get a better creative effect.

The Internet uses mash up to associate for instances pictures and map, which very useful when one want to travel. Indeed, mash up is widespread in tourim websites.
The problem is that anyone can put any picture in a mash up system, and as a consequence this can lead to issues of visibility? It can become hard to fine really interesting information. For instance I think I wouldn't like to find pictures of people in frony a monument or a beautiful landscape in a city I want to discover! We could imagine to use a mash up for GPS, we could see on a board oneself driving in a city while this one drives. It could be a kind of amazing association of virtuality and reality, in real time and in action. A worldwide and very old dream of human beings is the feeling of ubiquity: why not imagine a mash up that could let us know all what happen evrywhere around.


As I had never make a blog before, I had to learn how to do it, and I could see that it was very simple and the Wiki and Netvibes as well.

I found interesting to think about the Internet can teach us about discipline, and also to learn about cybercrime.

This would be a good idea if we could make interviews in English, as well as we have some to get internships.

Advice for modern English lessons



If I had to say something about our English lessons at Celsa, I would say that we learn English with new technologies and we learn new technologies with English.

Saying that, now that we can use both, but knowing that I am still a beginner in both, I would say that I still want to learn about waht I can do with a computer and an Internet connexion, in English!


But my creative mind would also like to write articl
es about what I like. That is why I would find it really great if our blogs could be the expression of what we like, what we don't... For instance, we are all living in Paris, so why not share our viewpoints on restaurants, and things so see in Paris.
Since the blog is also an amazing way of expression, that would be my pleasure to tell about what I like!

But what do we learn at Celsa?




I am a newly arrived at the Celsa, and if one would ask me "but what do you do there?" I would say that I study communication. "Then, whatelse?" the one would say.
So, in order to keep being enthousiastic, I would have to choose the topic I prefer. And I would talk about the marketing lessons. This is a discobery for me, and I find it quite interesting because for instance, I have studied marketing since september, and yet I know I won't have the same reading of the adverts as before.
I go to work everyday by the underground, and I will never be the same underground user as before. Because I feel like now I know what people who make the advert want to say, to sell.
We learn interactive communication with professionals from the agency Duke. This agency, who made the very funny website of mikado, for instance, teach us how to be aware of all what is new in technologies, social trends, and how to focus on it and create communities. This is probably the best word to describe how does marketing works!! Creating a community is the good work of a good marketing specialist!
