Well probably the best place to start is to begin learning some very basic music theory. Learn what all the notes are on the keyboard. Learn basic scales and chords. I'm sure there are websites where you can learn this online, or else there are plenty of beginner's guides to music theory books that you can buy. Once you've learnt these basics, learning songs and creating your own songs will become much easier and make much more sense. I guess that's where I'd start!

I've often found that YouTube is a very good way to learn proper technique when picking up a new instrument. Check out beginner's piano tutorials on YouTube, and watch how they play etc. It'll be a big help.

Good luck!
