Teaching computer by drawings
In 2016, another Ghanaian teacher, Owura Kwadwo got donations for his school after his story went viral.
Due to lack of resources in teaching IT, Kwadwo drew a computer screen interface on the blackboard. His drawing shows all the different tabs and buttons, with explanations of what everything does.
Consequently, the school received computer donations and Kwadwo was invited to the Microsoft Global Education Exchange Summit in Singapore.
