Firstly, "how not to reply to mailing lists":
Please try not to include the whole previous thread (several times) by just replying without trimming the list…
Now, how about:
1) I've not prepared anything. Let's Google it together.
2) PowerPoint slides per minute > 1 OR minutes per slide > 3
3) Let's (with no warning) get <random student> give the lecture/tutorial today, as presentation skills are TRANSFERRABLE skills. Alternatively, setting regular student presentations so you never have to lecture yourself.
4) What does Wikipedia say?
5) Sure, cut and paste off the Internet is fine in your essay. How do you think I prepared this course?
6) here's some reading. I'll be back in half an hour.
However, all these CAN be productive experiences if done right. To avoid the dumb things people say trap, why not set a challenge to see what positives can come from these?
For example:
1) Google searching is a valuable skill; filtering good information, construction of search terms, evaluation of sources.
2) What's the right balance of on and off screen information? How much knowledge can one slide contain?
3)
