Biography
Brady began learning through technology at an early age. By the time he entered university, he was using his Mac to compose and record music, build simple websites, and design with professional desktop publishing and graphics tools. After university, he began working for an internet company in California during the dot-com era. There, he quickly rose from web-designer to project manager assisting with international technical sales.
In 1999, he took what was meant to be just a short break. He moved to Honduras to teach 6th grade at the suggestion of a friend. His personal laptop was the only one in the elementary school, and he immediately began putting it to use in his classroom. Within a few months, he was collaborating with the head of school on a new website and database project. By the end of the year, Brady was hooked on teaching and decided to return to California to earn a teaching qualification and masters in education.
