Summary:
This application is intended to help users improve and maintain their oral health. You can have your brushing technique analyzed and the app will recommended lighter or harder brushing. With an Oral-B toothbrush that has Bluetooth capabilities, you can track the areas of your mouth that you are missing and learn more about different brushing positions to hit those spots. You can also record your brushing time to see if you are meeting the recommended 2:00 minutes of brushing, twice a day.
Check out this video to learn how to connect your Oral-B toothbrush with your Oral-B app.
Core Integration:
I imagine using this app during a math unit on statistics in 6th grade. I would have students record their time spent brushing, twice a day, and at the end of the week I would have each student record their average time spent brushing into a class table. From there, I could do numerous things with the class data and develop lessons.
