Ento-History!

Have you ever considered how insects have steered wars, inspired ancient mythologies, or built global trade?

Ento-History brings insect history directly to your routine with a public Google Calendar featuring a daily historical fact. Designed for educators looking for daily classroom warm-ups or anyone fascinated by our shared past, it tracks how deeply humans and six-legged critters are connected across recorded history.

From the lab to the classroom...

... take a peek into my classroom, field work, and daily life in the lab.

[STATION 5] - FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Capture real-time formative feedback and exit tickets without paper clutter or doorway bottlenecks. Discover how embedding NFC chips into everyday touchpoints, from exit placards to wearable accessories, lowers the response barrier to zero for instant student pulse checks.

Practice

[STATION 4] - MODULAR WORKFLOWS

Orchestrate collaborative group inquiry and scaffold multi-step protocols without paper clutter or premature spoilers. Learn how modular NFC tokens enforce positive resource interdependence in jigsaws and gate sequential bench tasks.

Practice

[STATION 2] - POINT-OF-USE GUIDES

Stop repeating equipment demonstrations across 20 lab benches. Discover how mounting point-of-use NFC tags on microscopes and sweep nets delivers instant, looping micro-SOPs directly where hands meet hardware.

En·to·go·gy (noun)

The method and practice of teaching about insects.

Entogogy is a blog space exploring the intersection of entomology, classroom pedagogy, and hands-on science communication. Here, you’ll find reflections on active learning strategies, behind-the-scenes build notes for 3D-printed classroom tools, field stories, and candid discussions on making biology education more engaging and accessible for every student.
