I have an iPod Shuffle 2nd generation and would like to know after the green light showing a full charge if left in the dock will the iPod still continue to charge or will it stop charging?

See Check the status light and battery charge on your iPod shuffle - Apple Support.
The green light means anywhere between 50% and 100% charge. When it is fully charged it will stop charging, there is no need to remove it from the charger the moment it turns green.

So when it suddenly turns green from orange the battery will only be charged above 50% and not 100%. Leaving it in the dock for at least a 4 hours will give the battery a full 100% charge. Even if the light turned green after say 2 hours which is suppose to be a 80% charge.
Looking again the meaning of the status lights depends on which device it is and whether it is on charge when you look at it. A fully depleted battery should be charged in 4 hours or less. It shouldn't be possible to overcharge the device. Batteries accept charge fairly quickly when they are drained and more slowly as they reach full charge which is why it can be charged from flat to 80% in two hours, but take another two to get to 100%.

After the green light, does an iPod shuffle still keep charging?
