It presents the results of a research carried out from 2013 to 2016 in the rural area of the State of Bahia, involving teachers and students from schools of basic education and technicians linked to the project Social Technologies for Digital Inclusion and the Development of the Solidary Economy (TECSOL), developed in partnership between the State University of Bahia and the State Government's Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (SECTI), with support from Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP). It included 30 Digital Centers for Rural Citizenship (CDCR), in schools of agricultural families or spaces indicated by the municipalities, developing educational activities, focused on digital inclusion. The objective was to propose and analyze the process of integrating Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC), understanding that this integration involves socio-cultural issues, the operationalization of social practices, as well as identifying participants' views, opinions and ideas about the integration of these technologies in their communities. The concepts of digital inclusion (WARSCHAUER, 2006; CASTELLS, 2000; SANTOS, 2000), digital literacy (BUZZATO, 2006; LANKSHEAR and HNOBEL, 2006; SAITO and SOUZA, 2011) and social technology (TS) (DAGNINO, 2010), were structuring. Qualitative research with participant observation and focus groups, gave voice to the subjects, enabling the development of applications for mobile devices aimed at their daily lives. The results showed effective participation, engagement in the process and communities of practice. It was concluded that the interventions, allowed the accomplishment of a set of literacies, through digital devices, making possible the intended integration of TDIC, in the educational processes of the communities of the rural zone.
