your class should chip in and buy at least one copy of the o´Reilly book,
DNS & BIND 4th edition.
I bet if you go to www.google.com and search for allow-update, you´ll find
a link to a tutorial or a good explanation.
also,http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/config/zone.html defines the
syntax that enables zone updates.
Congrats on the initiatives!!
