Left with no computers for practical lessons in his Information and Communication Technology class, a diligent Ghanaian school teacher, Owura Kwadwo Hottish, came up with an innovative way to bypass the problem. He took it upon himself to draw out the entire Microsoft Word window to explain the ‘features of a World Processing Window’ to his students.

Uploading the picture to his personal Facebook account with the hashtag #committedteacher #ICTontheboard #Teacherkwadwo , the 33 year old teacher had no idea the post would soon go viral on social media network, Twitter.


Posted by Twitter user Rebecca Enonchong (@africatechie) with a call to look for him, the picture of the school teacher gained over 1,500 retweets within 24 hours with a number of users stepping in to offer help to the diligent teacher.

She then tweeted at the official Microsoft Africa handle to help the teacher with ‘some proper resources’


48 Hours later, she got a response from Microsoft Africa with a promise to support the teacher with a device from one of their partners. Owura was also offered free professional development resources and access to Microsoft’s MCE (Microsoft Certified Educator) platform

Following up with the increase of characters and a deliberate clamp down on Tweetdeck spam and cross-posting abuse, Twitter has come up with 3 new features designed to make you get the best out of the social networking giant.

The 3 new features via their official Twitter handle which includes; the ability to send Direct message tweets to others, Share tweets via email or text message and lastly bookmarks for tweets.



Perhaps the most interesting feature; Bookmarks for Tweets is an improvement over the like button (which was also changed from favorites), gives you the ability to save your tweets for later reading. It is better than saving in the ‘Likes’ area as bookmarks are only viewable by you when saved.



To enjoy the new features, Update your Twitter for Mobile App



Fancy that Edit Button users have been waiting for, anyone?

Still is holding the gun with a firm grip, doesn't happen if that's suicide unless it's a Yoruba movie

There's a splatter on the wall, indicative that he was shot near that wall from close range.

He was about to eat as the killer came in, so he stood up and backed up to the wall before getting shot there

Buying player got way high ever since Mourinho spent 90M on Pogba. United killing football

quote author=247TechBlog post=64390583]

Didn't you just spend 75m on a player who's never won a cup of coffee or played in Europe?

Better sit down and be humble

Pogba cost £89m
Hes won multiple titles and played in the ucl final
Golden boy
Top serie A assister
He's been in the Uefa toty at less than 25 years old

You'll sell someone like that when Mane who equally hasn't won anything was sold for about 40m?

Please just sit down with your Southampton 2 team

tunjex2006:
Imagine! £450k a week. This Mourhino knows how to help someone spend his morning extravagantly. No problem, we are waiting for the outcome of the money he has been spending. Anyway, It's none of my business because I don't belong to them. We are Liverpool. You Will Never Walk Alone.

Initially taken with a pinch of salt, the CEO of OnePlus, Pete Lau has now confirmed it in a recent interview with CNET at the Bellagio outside of CES on Wednesday.

According to him, “There’s no other choice” for his company than the Snapdragon 845. OnePlus 6 is scheduled to launch late in the second quarter, which is towards the end of June. As of now, it is not quite clear if the phone will be called OnePlus 6 or if there will be a different variant to the name as has now come to be the norm.

Asked if the Chinese company will embrace partnering with carriers in the United States for the sale of its phones, Lau expressed optimism saying;

“If the right opportunity and right timing come along, we’ll be very happy to experiment”,

He however remained tight-lipped as to when a deal should be expected.

The OnePlus 6 is expected to continue in the trend of the Chinese company’s recently found success with the OnePlus 5T which one of the best Iris Recognition setups in the market. The OnePlus 5T quickly became its fastest- and best-selling product after its launch in November
