So Alleyoop.com was born to address this. It starts with math — though more subjects will launch in the future — because this is where so many kids fall behind and never catch up. The site teaches through online videos and one-on-one tutoring. It also teaches the skills necessary to study math by helping kids come up with a study plan — all built around a game model to keep kids engaged. It starts with 8th grade because that, not the third year of high school, according to Supanc, is when kids need to start getting their skills in order for college.A basic plan – with two one-on-one tutoring sessions a month – is $29 per month. But you don’t need a plan. It’s free to play. You just need points to pay for the tutoring sessions. Kids can play to earn those points or you can buy them.

One example is Nike's Nike+ program (pronounced "Nike plus"), created so runners could share their activity with others. For someone who was not already in shape to run a couple of miles, though, the scoreboard provided no reward for introductory efforts and was actually a disincentive to continue using Nike+.BUT: The app in 2012 “. Motivate each other and discover rewards. Nike Plus even has virtual games for those of us who rather sit on our lazy behinds and play our favorite Cool App.”http://coolappsman.com/2012/05/examples-gamification/
