Still, hassle IT
I’m a teacher in a private school. We have some pretty oppressive IT policies, but still — not as bad as what you’re experiencing.
I’d still recommend that you take the time to hassle the IT department to get what you want. Just because you’re the only one on staff that really has a clue to how computers could be used doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t get to use your tools.
Sorry that I don’t have more to add; but I think it’ll be worthwhile for teachers’ to push back against overly-draconian IT policies. Eventually, IT folk will get together and realize that their schools are gaining, not losing, by letting tech-savvy teachers do what they want.
