+what is information processing cyle
Information processing may more specifically be defined in terms used by Claude E. Shannon as the conversion of latent information into manifest information (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2011). Information processing is the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer. As such, it is a process that describes everything that happens (changes) in the universe, from the falling of a rock (a change in position) to the printing of a text file from a digital computer system. 1.)The teacher will provide the students with a list of sources for research, including printed encyclopedias, online encyclopedias, Internet resources (teacher must preapprove website before it is investigated by student), the Alabama Virtual Library, and additional books on the water cycle. (see attachment). Lead students in a discussion about the different parts of the water cycle: evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. Use as many questions as possible to determine which concepts the students may understand and where any misconceptions may be. 5.)After presenting the slideshow presentation, students will then take their information and develop a newsletter to send home to parents detailing the activities done for the presentation. The students will use word processing or publishing software to develop their newsletters. In computing, information processing broadly refers to the use of algorithms to transform data—the defining activity of computers; indeed, a broad computing professional organization is known as the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). Students will research the Internet, Alabama Virtual Library, online and printed encyclopedias, and other reference material to gather information on the water cycle. Students will then use the gathered data to create a slideshow presentation and a newsletter demonstrating their understanding of the water cycle. There are six (6) stages of the data processing cycle:     data collection  data preparation  data input  data processing  data storage  data output  . 14 people found this useful. Within the field of cognitive psychology, information processing is an approach to the goal of understanding human thinking in relation to how they process the same kind of information as computers (Shannon & Weaver, 1963). Computers with Internet access, word processing software such as Microsoft Word, presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint, publishing software such as Microsoft Publisher or Print Shop, informational CD-ROMs such as Microsoft Encarta, color printer, scanner(optional), microphone (optional).
