Student Electronic Contact

I was fortunate enough to have a friend who lives in Montreal, Quebec who used to visit Mobile, Alabama. We are facebook friends and I messaged her about the technology her college uses in Montreal.
She says majority of the teachers use powerpoint through their labtops(sound familiar). She studies publicity and says they talk about all kinds of crazy technology companies use to advertise products. "in downtown montreal, i was going to class and i say that big truck that was pulling a big trailer covered in windows. there was a new nissan in it, with lights and stuff so we could see!"...I thought that was interesting, although it doesnt have much to do with education.
She also says they do use blogs and teachers have websites where they put up class information.
From what I gathered, it is more or less the same type of technology we use. I did enjoy catching up with her and learning what kind of technology they use in Montreal
