spend 30 bucks on Mark Rippetoe's book "starting strength". It goes into fine detail on proper form for major exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench press, military press and power cleans. I believe it was written for coaches, so it has good tips/coaching cues to help teach the form to others.
Also, he suggests a training program that will make a newbie like you (and me) add a lot of strength consistently.
Also, a good website is exrx.net, it has a animated gifs of proper form for any lift you could imagine.

The entire internet seems to be in love with this book. I just bought it, felt like I had to. I wonder if it can live up to the hype.
