Being able to handle computers no longer is one of the knowledge and skills necessary for daily life, and "computers" are subjects to be learned through compulsory education. A computer education is necessary all over the world, but a teacher in Africa is doing a hot blood class by reproducing the computer screen on a blackboard to teach something about a computer.

Richard Akoto, a teacher at the Betenase M / A junior high school in the Sekyedomase street, which is 2.5 hours by car from Kumasi, the second city of Ghana, gave information technology (ICT) to students aged 14 to 15, I am teaching. However, Betenase M / A junior high school has no computer since 2011 when ICT department was established.

How do you teach information communication technology without a computer? Although it is natural that it is doubtful, Mr. Akoto says that he draws a computer screen on the blackboard and explains the work and functions of the computer.

Akoto posted a photo as a classroom scene on her Facebook and Twitter, and it got a big reaction.


The following picture is a scene where Mr. Akoto draws the screen of Microsoft Word on the blackboard and explains the movement etc. of each button.


The UI of Word has been completely reproduced, and what kind of function each button has is explained with annotations written outside the screen.


Mr. Akoto intended to upload pictures as "casual everyday landscape", but he is a popular comedian in Ghana and also a teacherTeacher KwadwoSan's posts, 140 thousands of "nice" gather and the information diffuses. About Akoto's class that had been spreading as a result of that, comments gathered with people from around the world praising it with a marvelous voice.


In addition, Rebecca Enonchong to Microsoft Africa, "Tweet him with resources!" Tweet this, Microsoft Africa says "to support teachers trying to do digital reforms in education It is the heart of the mission, "he decided to offer Microsoft 's MCE program free of charge.

Even though we have installed support from Microsoft, it is unlikely that Mr. Akoto's classroom scene will change drastically as soon as it actually requires 50 PCs to use the MCE program in Mr. Akoto's classroom. According to Mr. Akoto, students in Accra of the capital of Ghana will pass all computer tests. For that reason, he says, "It would be impossible to compare a student who knows what to do with computer mouse and a student who never touched mouse wheel."

In Ghana, there are many parents who disliked the resource shortage of public schools and learned children at paid private schools. Mr. Akoto seems to appeal that distribution of educational resources to public schools such as rural villages is unfair.
