It's better not to tell students they did something "wrong", because  
this soon stifles creativity. Also, sometimes a different path than  
envisioned by the teacher turns out to be more interesting, if the  
student is allowed to pursue it. Instead of correcting the work while  
it is in progress, at the next opportunity show them a different (and  
perhaps better) way of doing it.
