This mirrors what many families do at home to motivate their students - good grades = a new video game. So, why not put in place a systematic program that reinforces students' behavior leading to positive academic outcomes. It's more about students experiencing the "success" and "recognition" which will ultimately lead to greater intrinsic motivation. A good platform is uBoost - it also allows for comprehensive tracking and reporting.
