While the student plt was taking off with a left crosswind, he reportedly became distracted when he became aware that he was applying incorrect aileron deflection for wind correction. He stated that he corrected the ailerons, but in the meantime, the acft began going off the rwy. It then went into weeds, hit a drainage ditch & nosed over.
