This is something that I've been working on - I never read from the slides but the temptation to put too much on them is there. One thing I have been doing is putting more into my notes and less on the slide and then using presenter view so I see the notes easily. Sometimes I just use a picture and then all the rest comes across as discussion even though I have prepared points to cover. 

I'd argue that occasional movement is appropriate - if you don't move at all, you create an issue with line-of-sight that a student can use to cheat. However, pacing around like a caged lion is not the answer. I generally move from front to back to sidewall every once in a while. the back however is definitely the best place to observe, particularly if you are administering a test on computers because you can usually watch progress bars on the screens.
