Richard Akoto Appiah - known as Owura Kwadwo Hottish on Facebook, posted a photo of himself on his social media timeline.

The teacher of Betenase M/A JHS in the Ashanti Region who drew a Microsoft Word format on the blackboard is currently in Singapore for the Microsoft Global Education Exchange Summit.

He said that he was hoping to learn something new at the summit.

Photos of Owura Kwadwo Hottish drawing a full Microsoft Word window on the blackboard went viral on social media.

He did this in an effort to help his students understand computer lessons.

A Cameroonian entrepreneur Rebecca Enonchong set out to find the teacher and also sent a message to Microsoft Africa.

Microsoft Africa responded saying "Supporting teachers to enable digital transformation in education is at the core of what we do. We will equip Owura Kwadwo with a device from one of our partners, and access to our MCE program & free professional development resources on education.microsoft.com."

He honoured the invitation and shared photos.
