Technology is part of our daily lives; we can observe the use of technology in our cell phones and portable computers and, most notably, within classrooms. If used within the proper pedagogical context, computer-aided technology can be quite advantageous to teacher educators whose pedagogical belief is also centered on teaching and learning that is responsive to students’ needs and cultures. When technology is combined with Problem-Based Learning (PBL), it can be a powerful aid to help pre-service teachers build cultural literacy and the skills needed to be responsive to students’ needs. This chapter presents a single case study of the highly successful academic outcomes through the wedding of PBL and technology.

Portable Computers

The development of wireless technology has led to mobile computing, a new era in data communication and processing (Barbara, 1999; Myers & Beigl, 2003). With this technology, people can now access information anytime and anywhere using a portable, wireless computer powered by battery (e.g., PDAs). These portable computers communicate with a central stationary server via a wireless channel. Mobile computing provides database applications with useful aspects of wireless technology known as mobile databases.

Computers have been used by a few anaesthetists for teaching purposes for a number of years. Well constructed programs have the capacity to realistically present material which would not be available by other teaching methods. The advent of small portable computers has made this powerful teaching aid potentially available to a much larger group. It is likely that computer aided learning has a significant future in anaesthetic training and, in particular, for continuing medical education.

ABSTRACT The electronics revolution has changed many fields. Salvors have been slow to keep up with technology. Historically, salvage masters have relied almost exclusively on their subjective feel to ensure the survival of stranded vessels. Even today the analysis of stranded vessels is based primarily on static calculations. However, dynamic loads add to static loads and may be larger in many situations. This paper outlines traditional salvage calculations, new developments, and future needs. Salvage is in a state of transition, yet its future is gaining definition. Salvage of stranded tankers will be just as challenging as ever. It will still require an experienced salvage master who understands the multitude of factors involved, but dynamics will be accounted for by powerful software running in portable microcomputers at the site of strandings. Some computer inputs will be real-time data from lightweight sensors. The portable computers will provide forecasts on probability of breakup based on projected sea states during periods of high stress (low tide). These new tools will make the salvage masters' decisions more timely, confident, and accurate.
