Processing turns the input data into meaningful output. Output is the processed data formed into useful information. The document provides examples of IPO in baking and outlines tasks for students to draw an ICT system flowchart and diagram showing human input into an ICT system. It also directs students to read a case study on curriculum management and complete an activity using ICT systems in daily life.
