    https://asiasociety.org

    I spent time discovering the information and resources provided on the Asia Society Policy Institute, https://asiasociety.org.  The website is very well organize and easy to navigate using tabs at the top.  Its navigation tabs include different topics with many subcategories with in each tab.  They have an Arts, Education, Policy, Initiatives, Current Affairs, a Watch & Listen tab containing videos and podcasts.  An Events tab which I found interesting.  Its title is AsiaX.  It is an Asian Society Policy Institute that promotes speakers and events that range from professional, to government and policy communities in which they talk about trends that are reshaping Asia as well as the US.  It has the usual About tab and Support Us tab that most sites have.  However that tab that I liked most was its Countries & Regions tab containing a lists the different countries; East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and West Asia and the different regions within each country as subcategories.      The best information that students can find useful is at the bottom using in the footer.  There is a tone of informational links and resources.  I particularly like the For Kids link.  That will take kids to a very kid friendly webpage which also has parent and teacher resources.  This page has everything for kids from stories to art and languages and even games.  I think this is a perfect for elementary or middle schoolers to learn about Asia.  I think the main site would be more appropriate and more appealing to high schoolers.

    I would definitely give this site an A+ for organization and easy of navigation but mostly for its content.  This is like a one stop shop of information on all of Asia.
