Data consists of raw facts and figures. When that data is processed into sets according to context, it provides information.

For example, recording the temperature of your classroom continuously over a set period is data collection. From that data information may be derived, such as the highest, lowest, and average temperatures over that period.

A computer follows instructions (a 'program') in order to process 'data' into 'information', and can make possible the processing of vastly greater amounts of data that can be achieved efficiently otherwise.
I'll give you an example,

Data: Each student's test score is a piece of data.

Information: The class' average score or the school's average score is the information that can be concluded from the given data.
