This paper traces the range of literacy events that occur in one cybercommunity whose members are participants in the ongoing role play, "Cybersphere." A sample text produced by users within the community serves as the focus for critical analysis and offers a rich example of the ways in which language is being used within cyberculture. Some of these ways replicate offline communication, while others are unique to cyberculture and deserve close inspection if people are to understand the complexities of the literacy being adopted by students. The paper concludes that virtual environments flourish across the Web, and educators have much to gain by accessing the technology and involving their students. Contains 12 references. (Author/NKA)
