This article as a result of the process of exploring successful experiences of integrating ICTs in education, specifically with mobile learning, as a strategy to face educational challenges as desertion, literacy, coverage and costs, overall in the context of rurality and vulnerable and marginalized populations. The use of mobile learning passed in a way to close the digital gap in the school field, to a way to mitigate some social inequalities, that is, contribute to closing the social and pedagogical gap, especially in developing countries. Such situation faces great challenges, summed up in the construction and adoption of bold and flexible public policies.
