Then try the method mentioned about. (Zip lock, paper towel, window sill) Give it 24-48 hours. There's a big difference between a splash and a "quick dip." Submersion is not good as it allows a whole lot of electricity to go where it isn't supposed to.  Power it down by holding the main power button for 10-12 seconds.

It was a quick dip and I dried it off with a towel. The screen wouldn't respond to my finger trying to slide to power off. I have it wrapped in a paper towl to try and dry it. Do you think its saveable? My 3 year old son dipped my ipod touch in a cup of water. It was a quick dip and I dried it off with a towel.

Try drying it out. But water & electronics don't mix.  If it was submerged… chances of saving it are slim. Try drying it out. But water & electronics don’t mix.

(Sorry, wouldn't take it to school.)  I keep an extra trash bag in my backpack for this very reason. When it starts to rain I make sure my electronics are wrapped up in plastic and inside my backpack just in case. If it didn’t get soaked and you’ve left it off you might be OK.
