Cyberliteracy

I believe the most interesting part of Cyberliteracy was the part about Purple Moon.  When I was about nine I was OBSESSED with Purple Moon. There were two different games, Rockett’s New School and Secret Paths in the Forest.  These games involved narrative structure, social emotional issues, and the development of personal character. Purple moon was started in 1996 by Brenda Laurel.  She had spent many years researching how girls play on the computer and discovered the sequence is "play, die, start over."  I really liked reading about this section because it brought back a lot of good childhood memories and it was interesting to know the story behind one of my favorite things of the past.
