Typing your speaker notes in the notes section of either Notes Page view or Normal view is a good way of including reminders about topics that you want to talk about while delivering a presentation. These notes can be displayed as the presentation is running using the Presenter view, without being visible to the audience.

When you choose to share your presentation, you can enable the notes to be printed.
