We've had a lot of success with using Clicker 6 to help write daily journals. With the arrival of our SMART board we have started using Clicker to write a morning journal as a class. About half the class also does an additional independent journal entry each day and one works on his stories every day during free time (stay tuned for his latest and greatest adventure: "Kenny Becomes a Policeman").
Sadly I am unable to post videos to this site without paying for it, so here are a few photos of students coming up to the SMART board for their portion of the morning calendar routine.

This student is completing the phrases "today is . . . yesterday was . . . tomorrow will be . . . "
This student is selecting his name from a pop up and telling the rest of the class how he is feeling today. Some students ask me to add to their sentence with specific details that pertain to the current day and they enjoy helping by trying to find the correct word from the word predictor. A few students are even able to come to the computer and type these "add on's" with minimal support.
Below is our completed class journal from today. The format was altered slightly in saving the Clicker document as a word document for export. In Clicker all images are presented directly above the word, rather than to the right. If you are unable to view the embedded document, please try one of the file links below.
