This longer article taken from AI: Where is the Intelligence? discusses Artificial Intelligence and rule following "bots". The activities contained within would easily lend themselves to a series of lessons on algorithms. The section on noughts and crosses, could start with students playing some games, and trying to analyse the patterns needed to win the game.
