Any suggestions how to tie iPad entertainment time to Khan academy progress? Does anything like this already exist?

You would have to work with khan, who would host the online game and as people fulfilled study milestones they would get a period of game access. This game could be on the same iPad that the pupil studied on. Probably minimum game times of 20-30 minutes of play for whatever milestone the pupil reached. Each course would need a game that suited the academic level of the pupil. I suspect game companies would be eager to fill this need, as long as some sort of monetization method could be setup? I know Khan Academy = free, but are there games fueled by advertising that would fit?

The idea of paying pupils to study is a very valid and worthwhile method of motivation of pupils. Toss out the judeo-christian crap that overlies our minds and we can see that rewards motivate people. Who works for free? Study is work - pay them

To clarify, I want the iPad to only allow the khan app until a certain amount of progress has been made. No YouTube until you earn x khan academy points
