This paper reports on different projects aimed at fostering inclusion in Portuguese elementary and high schools at national, regional and local level through ICT projects. Based on our participation in these projects, we describe the key lessons learned as regards using mobile technology, georeferenced information as well as children's and youngsters' interest and expertise in curricular activities. We argue that mobile technologies together with the creation and the publishing of multisensory georeferenced information can support educational engagement and inclusive participation in Portuguese school communities.
