Journal is essentially a bare bones proof-of-concept utility, while OneNote
if a fully supported product, with a full team of developers and other
folks who work on the product. It's kind of like Wordpad vs. Microsoft
Office Word. OneNote has more features and better integration with other
applications.
As fas as your specific question about classroom usage:
The big difference between Journal and OneNote is that Journal only works
on one document/page at a time, and the pages must be individually created
and saved like any other document. OneNote lets you create a data
hierarchy of Notebooks, sections, and pages, and automatically saves and
organizes your data. If other teachers and students also have computers
connected to a network (Tablet PCs or otherwise) you can create Shared
Notebooks which can be automatically synced to/from other computers. A
teacher can project a OneNote page on a screen, write on it during a
lecture, and the lecture notes can then be immediately available to the
students on their computers.
