Syria approves new constitution, tornadoes ravage Mid-West, Breitbart dies age 43 Posted: 02 Mar 2012 02:30 PM PST Everyday on the CitizenTube channel (and @CitizenTube on Twitter), along with our curation partners @storyful, we look at how the top news stories are covered on YouTube. Each week we post a weekly recap of the top news stories of the week, as seen through the lens of both citizen-reported footage and professional news coverage. We monitored events in Syria, where the populace said a resounding yes to a new constitution and Red Cross continued their attempts to evacuate the wounded from Homs. We saw a string of tornadoes across the US Midwest claim the lives of at least twelve people, injure hundreds and destroy countless properties. We were saddened to hear of the death of conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart, who died of unexpected natural causes, aged 43, while walking this week. We observed thousands in Moscow protest against Vladimir Putin by forming a human chain that encircled the inner city. We followed the remaining GOP candidates on the US campaign trail as Mitt Romney claimed victories in Arizona and his home state of Michigan. We were shocked as another US school was plunged into violence with the deaths of three students in a shooting at Chardon High School, Ohio. We watched the ailing Costa Allegra, sister ship of the Costa Concordia, being towed back to the Seychelles after a serious engine fire. We witnessed police and bailiffs evict members of Occupy London from their base at St. Paul's Cathedral. We remembered with a heavy heart some of the greatest music of the 1960's, as Monkees heart-throb Davy Jones passed away, aged 66. Finally, we saw all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, as the world's biggest movie stars came together for the 84th Academy Awards. Come back next week to see the news unfold on YouTube.

Are you a brainiac? Take the YouTube EDU Pop Quiz Posted: 02 Mar 2012 08:02 AM PST As Chris Anderson, founder of TED, said, "Tomorrow's best teachers will be global stars reaching literally millions of kids". We believe that the next generation of great teachers will come from all walks of life - they might be popular vloggers, lifelong educators, popular scientists, or journalists - and we're working hard to get them sharing their knowledge on YouTube EDU. To highlight the breadth and depth of awesome educational content we have on the site today, we worked with some of our newest YouTube EDU partners to put together an interactive game testing your smarts.  At the end of the video you'll be asked a question which you should answer using the annotations embedded in the video. This will automatically take you on to the answer, and to the next question. The quiz has five questions in total, each from a different YouTube EDU partner, and then at the end you'll receive your score. Enough description though - go play (and learn)!
