If the execution was merely failing tasks and then revealing that the failure was planned, then I can understand why the teacher was pissed. The goal was obviously to get people talking, so if they didn’t actually talk about the material on their slides then they didn’t fulfill the project.
Eg: if slide 1 was revealed to be “Display a broken video” then OP should have then started talking about the importance of a broken video in a 5m presentation. Answer the question “Why is displaying a broken video important?”. Talk how no presentation is complete without a technical glitch, talk about how people can test their videos before presenting, etc.
I’m not saying that the idea wasn’t funny, but the goal was to present 5 minutes worth of material, not to shuffle awkwardly for 5 minutes and then reveal a joke.

Honestly, it might have been saved if he’d ended with jazz hands and loudly exclaimed:
