How to make the emails stop

I have even emailed them to stop emailing - naturally they responded with an email that offered no solution and still kept on emailing. It's so overwhelming. They send stuff more than once a day. Had to block the whole thing. It's all a big spam.

Is It Any Good?

Using Infogr.am is fairly simple. The site involves repurposing information and adding it to preexisting templates. However, the final result can be a really impressive visual that's presentation- or report-ready -- and can help kids better comprehend and explain scientific research, historical time lines, and other data. Kids aren't likely to return to the site repeatedly; although building an infographic can be a fun experience, it's probably not something they'll want to do every day. The site also doesn't offer many additional resources. It would be a stronger learning tool if it included more design instruction and exercises. Still, it's easy and fun and a great way for kids to start thinking visually.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
