While we are all aware that everyone communicates both verbally and non-verbally, I don't think enough training or consideration is given to the latter. Based on my experience, young students, specifically middle-school age, as compared to high school students seem to be much more in tune to non-verbal cues. I think training in the art of non-verbal communication should be added to new teacher trainings.
The idea in the article to video tape your presentations is definitely the most beneficial tip for becoming a better presenter. This was required as part of my entire student teaching experience and later I used video tape to improve the presentation skills of managers were I worked.
