Main comment:

«I don't think my opinion is that important. But still... I can't just keep silent... Many good things are described here, which are really useful but still unknown to many. The word «Mathematical» in the title can safely be removed. The only thing missing for the implementation of all this is enthusiastic teachers. Students learn to use anything for the sake of getting a corresponding grade, but teachers, as a rule, are reluctant to change the principles of communication with students (many generally consider it unacceptable outside working hours, saying they don't get paid for it), because they have been living this way for quite a long time and simply don't want to change anything. Not because they are bad or anything, but because that's just how all people are wired. Exceptions are very rare. As a teacher, I use Viber, where each group has its own chat, where students receive homework, and I, in turn, receive messages from them with questions on how to complete it. Initially, Viber was not installed on all students» devices, but as soon as a noticeable improvement in academic performance was observed among those who wrote to me and asked questions — Viber appeared on everyone's devices. I respond to them as soon as possible, whenever I have the opportunity. Still, regarding education. Let's imagine the generation of our teachers and the generation of our teachers' teachers. Our teachers still use information technologies more than those who taught them. And so, the next generation of teachers will use more information technologies. Just like everything around us. The world, of course, doesn't know where it's going, but it's still moving, and this movement can only be accelerated and nothing more. Returning to the initial thought... My opinion is not that important... Actions are important...»
