Teachers´ continuing education is an important part of the teacher education development. It is helpful to improve the teachers´ quality and promote education reform. There are many problems in current teachers´ continuing education training, for example, limited scope, target lack of training and failing to sustain the training quality. This paper introduces the existing problems, learning characteristics and needs of the present teacher education. It analyzes the feasibility of micro mobile learning in teachers´ continuing education based on clear concepts of micro content, micro learning and micro mobile learning, and presents the structure charts for independent learning, inquiry learning and collaborative learning which will be carried out in the teachers´ continuing education from learners´ perspective.
