Finding time to learn for a teacher

It amazes me how much we expect from teachers. Sitting here and looking at the life of a teacher from the eyes of a teacher and a parent I see so much. As a parent I unfortunately forget about my teacher eyes and forget how busy teachers are on a daily basis. As a teacher I wonder how in the world do we all stay sane? Testing, behaviors, planning, teaching and throw in learning because a teacher should never stop learning! Now, as a technology coach for teachers I have established a new goal for myself - how can I make learning something that isn't a task for teachers? Teachers have a hard time finding "free time" to spend learning new tools. I've tried e-mailing teachers - what teacher actually has time to sit and read an e-mail that isn't at the top of their list (top of the lists would be parents, principals and other administration). There are so many tools available to teachers but many don't have the time to sit down and look for these tools.
