On February 15, 2018, teacher Owura Kwadwo became an internet sensation after a picture of him teaching ICT. The topic for the day was to teach the students “Features of a Word Processing Window/Microsoft Word”.
Unfortunately, the school had no computer to be used by the teacher to facilitate the process. This compelled teacher Kwadwo to draw vivid Microsoft Word page on the blackboard with the parts well and visibly labelled. See picture below.
