The word speed is distance per unit of time. It is frequently used as a substitute for velocity, and it is in more common usage. But there is a difference between speed and velocity. Velocity has a direction vector associated with it. It's speed + direction. That's usually not a big deal when talking about "regular" stuff, but don't tell a physics teacher that.
