K–5 TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM BUYER’S GUIDE
Not sure which option is right for you? You’re not alone.
Both options teach the same core technology skills. The difference is how much structure, planning support, and flexibility you want.
You do not need to purchase both.
These are two separate ways to teach—not two levels of the same product.
The higher-priced Activities Bundle does not include the Membership, and the Membership does not include the Activities Bundle. You only need the option that best matches how you prefer to plan and teach.
The difference is not what you will teach. It is how much planning support you want.
