The author investigates the imaginative play of children online as they seek a common, shared space with others, in which to play. She looks at components of children's online play experiences, including mediated actions, discourses, literacies, sense of belonging, and online restrictions as they moved between digital and nondigital realities. She discusses the future implications of such play-the possibilities of online play groups within other social contexts such as home-schooling communities, hospitals, public schools, and libraries. Finally, she explores group dynamics such as gender and multiculturalism within online play groups.
