The green dot that appears at upper-right of the iPad screen indicates that an App is accessing the iPad's camera hardware - or the camera and microphone.
To be clear, the dot does not indicate that the camera is necessarily active - but an open App is able to access the camera.
A similar orange dot will appear when an App is just using your iPad microphone.
