The new Journal captures a child's interactions with their laptop and with others, offering both "action" and "object" views.  The actions view, shown here, provides a friendly browsable interface into the activities a child has participated in, and the actions they've taken.  This makes it possible to distinguish between writing a story vs. reading one, and among objects a child creates or modifies vs. those they download, receive from a friend or copy from an external device, etc. This view also makes possible the logging of actions and events with no associated object, such as joining a group, making a friend, or changing global settings.

The "object" view, on the other hand, retains a very similar from to that of the previous Journal.  It offers a structured list of all the objects stored on the system, and provides a means to sort them based on various criteria.
