Wikipedia is not for "getting the word out"
Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia, and that is all it is. It is not "social media", and it is not for advertising ot promotion of any kind. It is certainly not a place for you to "get the word out about what we have been doing in this experimental, interdisciplinary, class." The links above will tell you more about Wikipedia.

The notability standard for a book to have an article is explained at WP:Notability (books).

If your instructor suggested using Wikipedia in this way, please ask them to look at School and university projects for ideas on how to arrange projects which are useful both to the class and to the encyclopedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
