Yes, you can use mosaic glass tile with ceramic floor tile. This is a common question that I get in the store. The size differences of the tiles is the main concern people have.
A popular installation in a shower is to use large ceramic or marble tiles on the wall but to put in a border or just small swatches of glass tiles as insets. Our glass tiles are thinner than large ceramic tiles. You will have to spread the mortar a little thicker than what you lay for your large tiles then you will nest the glass tiles into the mortar. Use a 2x4 to stretch across the 
ceramic tiles to level the glass tiles out. However I do have some clients that will go ahead and install the glass with a normal mortar layer. They like the different depths of the tiles. Just be aware that grouting will take a little more cleaning this way.
