Did you pick up a copy of The Telegraph, The Guardian or the Evening Standard last month? If so, you might have seen the return of APL Media’s annual education- and family-themed supplements, each highlighting the latest trends in education while discussing matters of importance to both parents, children, and family life — educators and family experts, respectively. 

For the Education & Learning supplement distributed with the Evening Standard, the editorial team spoke with professors and tech experts to better understand ChatGPT’s impact on education. While there are real dangers posed by this powerful AI tool (including the potential for plagiarism and answering exam questions on behalf of students), Conrad Wolfram, co-founder of AI-powered search engine WolframAlpha, believes in a world where human thought isn’t replaced by AI, but rather elevated by it. “We need to step up now and learn computational literacy for the AI revolution,” he said. 

For the Education & Learning supplement distributed with The Telegraph, we interviewed the CEO of specialist education provider North Star Academy, Kaye Palmer-Greene, to find out more about social-emotional learning and how it can help secure a better future for our children. Palmer-Greene said: “Students who are taught this way are more likely to achieve economic wellbeing in the future, be independent and lead a healthy life, mentally and physically.” 

And to fuel family adventures, we took readers on a scenic 48-hour tour around the Lake District with The Modern Family, distributed with The Guardian, (think paddleboarding and kid-friendly hikes), while we reviewed five of the best interactive exhibitions taking place around the capital this autumn for the Education & Learning supplement, distributed with the Evening Standard — perfect for an enriching family day out.  

If these supplements passed you by, keep an eye on living360.uk over the next few weeks, where you’ll be able to catch up on what you missed.
