Greetings to all:
I am Alesia Wakefield-Medley and a graduate of Central Michigan's Global Campus in Atlanta, Georgia. Last year in August I completed my Master of Arts Degree in Adult Education. Recently, I complete my certificate of College Teaching.
I currently work with a federally funded TRiO program called the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC). The EOC assists clients with obtaining their GED credentials, completing admission requirements to college, completing financial aid, test-prep, and searching for funding sources (scholarships and grants) for college. I am not a college instructor, however I have experience teaching in the secondary education setting. The subjects I taught were science and math. One day, I would like to be an adjunct professor at a community or technical college.
It is my belief that education is a life long venture and that we all learn something new each day of our lives. With each lesson learned, we must recognize that we are here to assist people along their journey in life and learning. This blog has been created to fulfill a requirement for EDL 642. It is dedicated to all the adult learners who need assistance navigating their career aspirations, post-secondary goals, basic education needs, and provide them with tools to assist. In addition to providing learning resources this blog will serve a dual purpose in integrating technology into the adult learners skill set.
Happy learning, and I hope this blog can give you inspiration to keep learning!
Best,
Alesia
