You might be surprised to learn that not everyone has the luxury of being taught to use a computer at school. For example, earlier this year, Ghana teacher Owura Kwadwo Hottish went completely viral when images of him teaching his students how to use a computer… without a computer actually being around.
Owura teaches Information and Communications Technology in a rural farming community in Ghana that lacks the essentials for a technology class. As such, he came up with a unique way to present the material. “I do it to make my students understand what I’m teaching,” he explained at the time. “At least to give a picture of what they will see assuming they were behind a computer.” His inspiring approach appeared to have worked, with Hottish confident that his students understood the material before they leave his class.
