This is a case study focusing on the incorporation and appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for education in rural Colombia. Ever since implementing the PAZRED project and its objective of building a culture of peace from a virtual and pedagogical approach, different dimensions of the digital gap have been identified in the municipalities of Dabeiba and Frontino, in Western Antioquia. These dimensions are related to access and use of technologies, the accompaniment in the learning processes, and the incorporation of the multiculturalism of the indigenous population. This article presents the current state of the digital gap in these two areas and the challenges of virtual education in these scenarios. We implemented in the process a qualitative methodology, mainly through semi-structured interviews, systematic observation, and documentary review. In this way, it was possible to identify the digital gaps in the areas of study in terms of access, quality, and complexity required for education in contexts with wide cultural diversity and of rural character. The analysis concludes that it is necessary to broaden the concept of "technological coverage", since technological appropriation by rural and indigenous communities must go beyond the incorporation of ICTs. It is necessary to generate suitable content, educational and communication models with technological support, positioned ethically and politically, that not only reflect their learning necessities but also understand the logic and the language of these communities.
