Information and Communications Technology in Rural Learning Environments as Mechanisms of Social Inclusion

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching-learning processes conducted in rural communities as strategies for social inclusion. Inclusion mechanisms arise from the development of policies and projects aligned to the appropriation and use of ICT, directing them towards educational processes that meet the needs and characteristics of their reality, creating better opportunities, promoting rural development and providing greater potential for integration into the labor market and improving the quality of life, access to information and reducing the digital gap.
