Try turning off your device. This usually fixes a lot of the problems. To do this hold the power button until the screen goes black. Then turn it back on by holding down the power button.
Try exiting out of all apps. Do this by double clicking your home button. The home button is located on the black portion of the iPad right by the screen. After double clicking on the home button you should see a screen with all the apps that have been open on the iPad before. Then swipe the apps up so it disappears. This can also help save battery life!
