Currently he's the IT director at a school in Chattanooga, and he's also a contributor to 9to5Mac via his weekly column: "Making the Grade." Bradley told me about his work as an IT administrator, how iPads and Macs are deployed, configured and repaired. There are some good tools for doing that, but they're also supplemented with Google docs and JAMF tools.

We finished with a discussion of a few of his recent columns, including why digital textbooks generally failed in the market as well as thoughts about the state of Apple's iBooks Author app.
