DabbleDB – I don’t know what it is, but it’s cool
Steve Burt talked about this briefly during the latest Ed Tech Coast to Coast and piqued my interest. It’s a web based app called DabbleDB. I’m not exactly sure how to describe it. It’s sort of like Excel and Filemaker combined with silly putty. All I know is that I want in. After watching a brief screencast demonstration of the product, I can think of so many different ways that it could come in handy. Depending on how well it works, it looks like it could revolutionize the way we interact and build relational databases.

Hi Steve,
Dabble DB is pretty amazing. I have a beta account and have been using it to create some data collection tools for use with my teachers. The process is very easy, basically just create an outline in Excel, then copy and paste into the Dabble DB interface and you have very simply created a web collection form. You can then invite participants to access the form via an email form. I can see teachers using this types of tools to create data entry forms that students can access from any web enabled tool such as a cell phone or a web enabled gaming tool.

[...] I’ve mentioned DabbleDB on many an occasion. I use it extensively at Discovery Education and it has proved itself invaluable again and again. In a nutshell, by using DabbleDB we’ve been able to take the data we’ve been collecting and actually get real world use out of it. Not only that, but it has allowed us to automate many tasks that were difficult and time consuming at best before. [...]
