Top Education Sites

Updated August 28, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

Lexico Publishing Group, which includes dictionary.com and thesaurus.com, retained its hold atop the list of most popular educational sites. VT.edu, Virginia Tech's website, made its debut on the list in April 2007, most likely due to interest in the tragic shootings that took place at the school on the 17th of that month.
