The inspiration and ideas for my workshops come from:

• My students at McGill.
• Conferences I attend (November Learning, ASCD, FETC, ISTE).
• Magazines (Learning and Leading with Technology, Wired, PC Magazine, New Yorker).
• Books (You Are Not a Gadget, The Shallows, Program or Be Programmed, Five Minds for the Future, The Information, Alone Together, 21st Century Skills, Digital Teaching Platforms, The World is Open).
• Apple has been a leader in teacher professional development programs since the late 70's ---> remember Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT)? Here's the new site ACOT2. I also use Apple's iTunes U, educational resources and professional development workshops reference links. 
• ISTE standards and resource links.
• My professional learning network (people I follow through my Twitter accounts (@sam_bruzzese and @edpt200)
• More and more I find that the articles and workshop resources of EdTech Teacher are getting better and better. They get technology, student learning, and teacher professional development. MUST use resource along with Richard Wells iPad4Schools site.
• Technology Together website and book from Dr. Phelps & Dr. Graham (ISTE book) up
