Abstract
This chapter aims to present a study of the digital inclusion program of the Government of the State of Pará, named Navegapará, particularly its educational components within Infocenters of Belém. During the period from March to September of 2012, 26 schools were selected, along with certain teachers and directors from the schools. A questionnaire was applied to better characterize the sample of schools visited, and it was possible to carry out a critical analysis of the data obtained and verify the potential of the program, as well as to show some points that must be reviewed, such as providing good training for teachers and ensuring that equipment is in good condition. These are still valid data in that they provide fundamental indicators for the appropriate development of digital inclusion and educational informatics within the schools.
