Excellent summary of the realities of teaching a subject like mathematics or physics, with some tips on how to overcome the hurdles. Equally applies to CS.

Why does UPS plan its routes to eliminate as many left turns as possible?  All kinds of ideas for a computer science problem.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. » Free to download and open source » Interactive programs using 2D, 3D or PDF output » OpenGL integration for accelerated 3D » For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows » Projects run online or as double-clickable applications » Over 100 libraries extend the software into sound, video, computer vision, and more... » Well documented, with many books available

Good video to show when teaching algorithm development.

All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it's open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. To do this in real-time NyArtoolkit uses markers - black and white images - to determine the three-dimensional position and orientation in the real world. Most likely you will have seen something like this before, but now you will learn how to do it yourself using freely available software.
