Ghana Teacher Gives Computer Lessons On Blackboard

In a bizarre happening, a school teacher in Sekyedumase Senior High School of Ghana used chalk and blackboard to teach a computers lesson without a computer.

Due to lack of resources, the school couldn’t afford a computer laboratory for the kids. However, it didn’t stop them from learning the functioning of technology.

The school teacher, Owura Kwadwo Hottish, who teaches information and communications technology in the school, shared pictures of how he taught Microsoft Word by drawing it on a blackboard for the children.

I do it to make my students understand what I’m teaching. At least to give a picture of what they will see assuming they were behind a computer. I do make sure they understand everything well before they leave the class.

However, the teacher didn’t blame the government for lack of help. “The government is helpful and I believe in them, they are trying to make ICT better for the teachers and students. We need well-equipped infrastructures and teaching and learning aids, and a government who has education at its heart,” he was quoted as saying by Bored Panda.

Thankfully, Hottish has now received many offers of donations for laptops and projectors. Mr. Kwadwo is overjoyed by anything coming in for the students and even wants to help out other schools in the region.

“There are many schools facing this same problem. I can also help out and give some of the donations to them, so they can also benefit through the teaching act,” he said.
