Let me summarize some examples given above.

1. In the beginning of a sentence you should always use "также" or "а также". In this case it means "also".

Я люблю вставать рано. Также я люблю завтракать один.
I like getting up early. Also I like having breakfast alone.

"Тоже" is used in the beginning of a sentence only as a part of an idiom or if a subject (mostly it's a pronoun "я") is omitted.

Я знаю дорогу, а ты? -- Тоже знаю (Я тоже знаю).
I know the way, and do you know? -- I know too.

Дорогу ты знаешь, а знаешь ли адрес? Тоже знаю (Адрес тоже знаю).
You know the way, and what about the address? I know it too.

Кто сломал стул? -- Алексей. А стол? -- Тоже Алексей (Стол сломал тоже Алексей).
Who have broken the chair? Alexey. And who have broken the table? Alexey again.

2. That's why "также" is used (as a rule) before "changed" word (mostly it's an object) while "тоже" is always used after "changed" word (mostly it's a subject). See the examples ("changed" words are italized):

Мы выучили новое правило. Мы также записали его.
We have learnt a new rule. We also have written it.

Мы выучили новое правило. Они тоже его выучили.
We have learnt a new rule. They have learnt it too.

Be careful using passive voice or object followed by subject.

Мы выучили новое правило. Это правило также выучили они / Это правило также было выучено ими.
We have learnt a new rule. It also have being learnt by them.

Мы помним новые правила. Мы также помним старые OR Старые мы тоже помним.
We remember new rules. We also remember old ones.

In all these examples "также" can be used instead of "тоже", however, it will sound very formal. "Тоже" can't be used instead of "также", because "тоже" is always used after "changed" subject or object.
