How to Make a Simple Kaleidoscope?

       Hello, everyone

       Last week we discussed digital storytelling in my classroom and we were assigned to create a digital story or demonstrate the process of something. Me and my classmate Elif Beyza chose to create a video that shows how to make a simple kaleidoscope.
      I didn't know what kaleidoscope was a couple of months ago. Then, I came across a song named 'shine like kaleidoscopes' by Chasing Skies and I really loved it. When I searched what a kaleidoscope looks like, I saw that it looks lovely. Therefore, I thought it may be a good idea to share it. When I suggested this idea, Beyza liked it and we started to create a video after we gathered all the materials. When the recording part was done, we started to bring them together in an order using a program named Camtasia. One of my friends helped us a lot because she knew how the program works better. Only this part was a bit challenging because of adjusting the time and setting the transitions between each picture/video. However, it was a nice experience to produce a video which helped me to show a nice material to you and this task can be useful for my future students, too. It would be a good way to find out what treasures do they have in their mind and how they can show it.
