Vocal Tics

In Malaysia not many parents, including teachers, are aware and have any knowledge about Tourette Syndrome. Tourette Syndrome is a disorder due to neurological factors characterized by repeated, stereotyped, unintentional movements and vocalizations called tics. In Malaysia, a few Tourette Syndrome students have been identified as not going to school because they are bullied due to their motor and vocal tics. So, in Malaysia we still don’t have any special teaching and learning modules as an inclusive program for the Tourette Syndrome students. The awareness and understanding about Tourette Syndrome among Malaysian citizens are also lacking, therefore a module to create awareness among parents, teachers and public should be developed. Until today, nothing has been looked into the matter of Tourette Syndrome by any of the Malaysian government departments. This makes the students with Tourette Syndrome not getting proper education and some are not even going to school. So, with the help of Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development and Ministry of Education the total number of students in Malaysia with Tourette Syndrome must be identified.

The acquisition of reading skills is decisive for the academic achievement of students. However, learning to read is a complex process. With this in mind, several attempts have been made to find new educational approaches to enhance students' reading motivation. Considering the enormous potential of ICT for education and training, we have developed a digital repository of teaching and learning materials and a multiplatform application that runs on mobile devices: Letrinhas. This information system was designed to promote the development of reading and to provide tools for monitoring and assessing reading skills against the curricular targets set by the Ministry of Education. Letrinhas was evaluated by specialists and users and a high level of satisfaction was observed among students and teachers as time and effort spent to consolidate reading is considerably reduced with this application. This evaluation also enabled to identify features that will be available in the future.

The use of mobile devices, especially, by teens has been looked at with much apprehension and suspicion with some saying that it can be used to acquire information which can be detrimental to their social and psychological growth. Some teachers complain that it affects teens' studies as these teenagers stay up late in the night browsing, chatting, watching movies and playing games which cause them to sleep in class or pay little attention because of tiredness. In Ghana students in public schools up to Senior High School are not allowed to use personal mobile phones, laptops and other mobile gadgets in school because of implications such as those enumerated above. On the other hand, some, including those in prominent positions in government, have called for a rethink of such a directive by the Ministry of Education. This chapter critically looks into previous literature on the use of mobile devices in the classroom and suggests ways in which it can be effectively used to advance academic work in the classroom.
