Top Education Sites
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.
